Shane, 

Ah, what an elegant workaround! I thought of different ways to get this, but
the only thing I could think of was the tedious way of comparing in loops. I
would never have come to think of using the text frame index.

If it were not for you great guys on this list I wouldn't dare to even
launch the script editor.

Thanks!

/ Richard
