Please could someone provide an example of how to climb up the page items to find the spread? I've been trying to do this. Most of my testing was by looking at the locals window to find a parent of myPageItem that has the spreads property. But I only find spreads at the top level where all 26 spreads are shown.

Sub testing()
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
Set myholdingart = myDocument.PageItems.Item("text_frame_to_find")

Set my_page_items = myDocument.AllPageItems
count_page_items = my_page_items.Count

For loop_name = 1 To count_page_items
	loop_item_name = my_page_items.Item(loop_name).Label
		If loop_item_name = "text_frame_to_find" Then
' at my_object level I can not find spreads
			Set my_object = my_page_items.Item(loop_name)

' I keep going up until
' I find all of spreads at this level
			set my_object_parent = my_page_items.Item(loop_name).Parent.Parent.Parent
		Else
		End If
Next
end sub

So please could someone point me in the right direction to climb up the parent?
Thanks,
iolaire
