Any ideas on where I should start > looking? I thought it only happened if there is some text in the cell, but it is all in overset. There are two workarounds: If you want all the text, including overset, use: "contents of parent story of every cell". If you want only the visible text, you have to first check for the possibility of an all-overset cell with something like: "baseline of character 1 of parent story of every cell". If that does not throw an error, you're safe. If it does, you need to loop through each cell with something like "baseline of character 1 of parent story of cell i" and skip those that throw an error. -- Shane Stanley, sstanley@myriad-com.com.au
