John--

At a guess, I'd say that most of the AppleScript examples in this forum and in the forum archive involve text formatting--so it's probably a good place to start. Two notes:

1. Using paragraph and character styles to do most of your formatting will greatly speed script execution.

2. If you really have *lots* of text, and if it's not already in an InDesign document, consider marking it up as tagged text before you import it or enter it in InDesign.

Thanks,

Ole
