Thanks for the reply, Ole. I saw the example, but I can't translate VB syntax into AppleScript very well, and there is no AppleScript example. From the little I know, it seems like the proper line is going to be something like:



tell selection to make page reference

or

set myIndexEntry to make topic



but those don't work. Nor do any of the variations I keep trying. I'm told "Can't make a page reference" or "Can't make a topic."

To my inexperienced eye, those lines seem equivalent to:



Set myTopic = myIndex.Topics.Add(myIndexKey(1), myIndexKey(4))



in your example, except that I'm trying to use the selected text rather than reading an array.

I realize this should be simple, but I'm just not getting this one :-}
