Odd, though, that it works in ScriptEditor, but not when compiled.

One big difference between the two is speed. I have no data to support this, but sometimes I feel like the script can get ahead of the application, and then gags; i.e. InDy is still trying to apply the character style (which changes the length of the text), when you tell it to "fit frame to contents".

Maybe before you "fit frame," you could "end tell" out to the application, then "tell application", "tell active spread", etc. until you get back to where you were? This is just a totally uneducated guess...

Good luck!

Jay
