I am writing a script for creating a
yearbook, and so am placing a series of
photos and captions. Each caption has
three lines. I am having trouble
applying my desired font and pointsize
to the caption TextFrames though. All
my efforts at setting these affects only
the first line. I thought it might be
an issue of each line being treated as
a separate paragraph, but the frame
reports a paragraph count of 1. Paragraphs.Item(1) reports a line count of 1. Here
is a snippet of my code:



 
   Set TF2 = myDocument.Spreads.Item(1).TextFrames.Add 
   TF2.TextContents = line1 & Chr(13) & line2 & Chr(13) & line3 
   TF2.Paragraphs.Item(1).CharacterStyle = captionStyle 
   ' Also tried below: 
   'TF2.Paragraphs.Item(1).PointSize = 8 
   'TF2.Paragraphs.Item(1).AppliedFont = textFont 
   TF2.GeometricBounds = Array(Y, X + Xoff, Y + Yoff, X + PhotoWidth) 




Any suggestions on the solution to this little problem, and/or pointers to additional documentation beyond the "InDesign Scripting Guide" would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
