Why not replicate the text using properties? We've borrowed the "properties" concept from AppleScript for our JavaScript implementation. Here's an example:



//DupMoveText.js 
//Create an example document. 
var myDocument = app.documents.add(); 
myDocument.colors.add({name:"Red", colorValue:[0, 100, 100, 0]}); 
var myBounds = new Array; 
myBounds[0] = myDocument.pages.item(0).marginPreferences.top; 
myBounds[1] = myDocument.pages.item(0).marginPreferences.left; 
myBounds[2] = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageHeight - myDocument.pages.item(0).marginPreferences.bottom; 
myBounds[3] = myDocument.documentPreferences.pageWidth - myDocument.pages.item(0).marginPreferences.right; 
myString = "1a\t1b\t1c\r\t\t\r\t\t" 
var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item(0).textFrames.add(undefined, undefined, undefined, {geometricBounds:myBounds, contents:myString}); 
var myTable = myTextFrame.parentStory.tables.add(); 
var myString = myTable.cells.item(0).contents; 
myTable.cells.item(0).texts.item(0).fillColor = "Red"; 
myTable.rows.item(1).cells.item(0).texts.item(0).properties = myTable.cells.item(0).texts.item(0).properties;

Thanks,
