Thanks for all your help Dave. I finally figured it out. I needed to tell the choose from list statement to save as a string. Everything now works great and you now have a new fan. Below is the final script for anyone who is interested. I learned a ton from this exercise. Cheers. Michael

set coords to {0, 3, 63, 19}
set gap to 0.5
set theText to the clipboard as string
set theLabels to every paragraph of theText
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	activate
	set settingsfiles to name of every paragraph style of document 1
	set settingsfiles to rest of settingsfiles
	set the LabelParaStyle to (choose from list settingsfiles with prompt "Choose a style:") as string
	if the LabelParaStyle is false then return "user cancelled"
	repeat with n from 1 to (count theLabels) - 1
		if contents of item n of theLabels is not "" then
			set item 1 of coords to (item 1 of coords) + gap
			tell active spread of active window
				set myFrame to make text frame with properties {visible bounds:coords}
			end tell
			set contents of insertion point 1 of myFrame to item n of the theLabels
			set applied paragraph style of paragraph 1 of myFrame to paragraph style LabelParaStyle of document 1
			fit myFrame given frame to content
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
