John--

No, I mean the Explorer window (again, assuming you're using ScriptDebugger--ScriptEditor lacks the feature). It'll show you the objects and properties of *live* documents, rather than just the dictionary definition.

re: text frame vs. story

The text frame is a page item, like a rectangle or polygon. The story is a text stream object, like a character or paragraph. The fill color of the text frame is the fill of the frame itself; the fill color of the story is the fill of the *text characters* in the story. There's no "foreground" or "background" color (though I understand what you mean).

re: getting swatch names



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
    tell active document 
        set myNames to name of every swatch 
    end tell 
end tell 




Thanks,

Ole
