Ok!! As you can tell, i am still learing. Next problem.... I am attempting to get a horizontal offset of the last character in a paragraph, then moving the insertion point to the left and getting that horizontal offset, and comparing the 2, if the horizontal offset of point 2 is greater than point 1 I know i have moved up 1 line in the paragraph, and tharefore insert a new line so i can apply a different par style to the last line. confused?? I am!! At the moment I am getting the first horizontal offset ok, but i am only getting the character contents, and not the offset of the 2nd reference character. Here is the code tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" activate set myselection to selection set mypound to search myselection for "�" repeat with n from (count of mypound) to 1 by -1 set myposition to horizontal offset of item n of mypound set mypara to paragraph 1 of item n of mypound repeat with x from (count of characters in mypara) to 1 by -1 set mycharacter2 to item x of mypara set myposition2 to horizontal offset of item x of mypara --this line fails to work display dialog myposition2 end repeat end repeat end tell Any help would be good Cheers Roy
