A follow-up. Yesterday, for the first time, I tried to use the overflows property (to determine if I needed to add a new page to a document to accommodate more of the story, as yet overset) and discovered that with 2.0.2 (and possibly earlier versions of 2 -- but definitely not 1.5.2), the overflows property of a text frame returns true if the text flow it is part of overflows, not if the frame itself overflows.

Thus, whereas in 1.5.2, given an insertion point in a paragraph, I could say:

if overflows of parent text frame of selection then ...

in 2.0.2, I've constructed:

if overflows of parent text frame of selection and (index of parent text frame of selection = index of last text frame of parent text frame of selection) then ...

This would probably be better constructed:

tell parent text frame of selection
 if overflow and (index = index of last text frame) ...

except that now I'm stuck telling the wrong thing in the "then" part; hmm how do people deal with this?
