Kari--

The answer is in the error message. "[BOLD]" is a string, not an object. Strings don't have properties--such as "parent story," so the script fails.

I'm not sure why it would come up--maybe if there's only one instance of the string "[BOLD]" in the text? The other possibility is that the text you've found is inside a table cell.

In any case, when you get an error like this from what you think should be a text object, you need to add "object reference" to the script line, as in:



set myStory to object reference of parent story of object reference of myStartItem 




Or do it when you define the myStartItem variable.

Thanks,

Ole
