Hi Ana,

Try this:

Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
    Set myDocument = myInDesign.ActiveDocument
    'Assuming that you have a text frame inside the document
    'with the text "abcdeefgh....
    Set myFrame = myDocument.TextFrames.Item(1)

Set myStory = myFrame.ParentStory

Set myStart = myStory.Search("g")
    Set myEnd = myStory.Search("v")

s = myStart.Item(1).Index
    e = myEnd.Item(1).Index
    Set myRange = myStory.Characters.ItemByRange(myStory.Characters.Item(s), _
                  myStory.Characters.Item(e)).Item(1)

myRange.CreateOutlines

Roberto
