🚀 go-pugleaf

I am trying to find the Page, Column, and vertical location of the end of a long story. I generate the text as a tagged file, then place it into my document as follows: 

    myInDesign.TaggedTextImportPreferences.StyleConflict = InDesign.idTagFileDefinition 
    myTF.Place sName, , myLayer, False, False, True, True



Then I try to get to the end of it: 

    Set myStory = myTF.ParentStory 
    Set myChar = myStory.Characters.Item(-1) 
'** same as this, right? 
'    Set myChar = myStory.Characters.Item(myStory.Characters.Count - 1)



The problem is that InDesign never comes back to my application (an I've waited at least 3x as long as it took to import the text). I got the value of myStory.Characters.Count & it's = 559411. Is this too long for InDesign to handle? How else can I get to the end without having it lock up? I'm thinking that maybe I should find the last TextFrame in the story, and find the last character in it. Even if I find a workaround - why does InDesign seem to have a problem with what I'm doing? 

Thanks for the help,
