Hi All,

I'm trying to place some text in a textframe. but i encountered some problems while trying to apply characterstyles.
Here is how the situation is right now:

When i have created a frame i use the following code to put the text in the newly created frame and to applay a ParagraphStyle to that text:

myTextFrame.TextContents = strToPlace
myTextFrame.Paragraphs.Item(1).ParagraphStyle = strParaStyle

This works fine.

Then, some time later in my script, i run into a line that has to add new text to that same textframe. but, it has to have a Characterstyle!!
As an Indesign noob i'm quite stuck here. There seem te be lots of ways to achief this (textwords, textstylerange, characterstyle.. etc) But i can't finf out how to apply these settings and how to add the new text to the frame.

I have also tried to do something with the insertionpoins and stuf, but got stuck. I probably is quite simple, but i'm not sure how to tackle this one.
Can anyone give me a hint, piece of code or some advise?
Thanx in advance
Eelko
