Thanks, Max. I did indeed discover the InsertionPoint approach just before I read your reply. My working code looks like:



 
   Set TF2 = myDocument.Spreads.Item(1).TextFrames.Add 
   TF2.InsertionPoints.Item(1).CharacterStyle = captionStyle 
   TF2.TextContents = kidname & Chr(13) & home & Chr(13) & dates 




The Paragraph object is either very obtuse in its behavior, or is simply broken, as I don't see why my original approach didn't work.

I still wish the Scripting Guide had some discussion about the different objects, how they interact, and when to use the different kinds that seem to have overlapping definitions.
