"I'm afraid I can't do that ... Dave"

Sorry -- with all the buzz about the 35th anniversary of the movie "2001," I couldn't resist. [Grin]

What I'm doing is comparing the first word of each para w/ the 1st word of the previous para. If they are the same, the script performs one action; if they are different it does something else. I get into trouble because the script thinks that "Williams Andy" is the same as "Williams-Sonoma."

I did find something interesting, though; Applescript treats hypens as a normal character, i.e. "Dust Bunnies" is 2 words, but "Dust-bunnies" is one.

I might have to do battle w/ our old nemesis, "Object Reference."

Thanks!

Jay
