Matt--

You're *way* better off placing a dummy graphic, deleting the graphic (which leaves the inline frame), and then setting the frame's content type to text.

If you use copy/paste, you have to worry about selecting objects, and you'll find that this is a very fragile. What if you're trying to select an object in overset text? Or on another spread? You'll get an error and your script will sop running. Instead, try something like this:



--Assumes you have a document open and that the document contains at least one story 
set myFile to choose file 
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
    tell character 1 of story 1 of active document 
        set myGraphic to place myFile 
        set myFrame to parent of myGraphic 
        tell myGraphic to delete 
        set content type of myFrame to text type 
        set text of myFrame to "This is an inline frame." 
    end tell 
end tell 




Thanks,
