GeekGod-- Sure. Use the Search method of the Document to look for a given character style, then iterate through the collection of found items it returns. For each found item, get the first InsertionPoint in the item & tell it to create the table. If you search the forum and/or forum archive for the variable name "myFoundItems", you'll turn up several examples where I've done just this. A couple of notes--if you simply want to turn the found item into a table, you can use myFoundItem.Tables.Add (provided that "myFoundItem" contains a reference to one of the text objects). Next, if you're adding paragraphs to a story, you'll want to iterate backwards through the collection of found items to avoid invalidating object references as you go. (A search for "backward" will probably turn up a few examples in this forum/forum archive.) Thanks, Ole
