Hi Ole (and everyone),

Does anyone know how reliable the index property of objects such as character, or insertionpoint is as an indicator of its offset from the beginning of the story? I ask pecause I've noticed the paragraph index appears to not relate to the order of paragraphs in the story if there have been any changes. It seems to refer instead to some sort of global paragraph counter that applies across all documents created possibly since a pref.file rebuild.

Anyway, is there any inside information on the index property and if it can be used to measure offset?

Cheers,

Stephen.
