Jack--

Sorry about the lack of documentation on the ItemByRange method--it was added after the Scripting Guide was completed. (We've got quite a few examples of it in this forum, however.<g>)

You might need to change your example a bit--the reference:



myCaptionFrame.ParentStory.Characters.ItemByRange(myChar1, myCharLast) 




...will probably return an Objects object. I think that:



myCaptionFrame.ParentStory.Characters.ItemByRange(myChar1, myCharLast).Item(1) 




...is probably safer.

The Characters.Item(-1) reference is the same as Characters.Item(Characters.Count). I didn't use it much in the Scripting Guide, as I felt it was too "AppleScript-style" for VB (but I've gotten over that prejudice<g>). You'll note that this construction is also used lot in the examples in this forum.

Thanks,

Ole
