Jens--

Since you've actually removed the paragraph, you have effectively destroyed the existing paragraph object--so the paragraph displayed in the Watch window or Locals window is an invalid object.

To insert text into a paragraph without invalidating the paragraph object, use an insertion point--that way, you won't be removing the carriage return at the end of the paragraph (which is what tells InDesign that it's a paragraph). Something like:



myActualParagraph.InsertionPoints.Item(1).TextContents = Me.txtFillText.Text. 




If you do it this way, you'll note that the object stays up to date in the Watch and/or Locals windows.

Thanks,

Ole
