What this is, is galley type for a weekly newspaper we produce. Every article is printed out so it can be proofread, edited, etc. and every article is it's own file. So, yes, this is the only story in the document, and the only story on page one. 

I did try doing it paragraph by paragraph, and boy is that slow. Formating the whole story first, and then changing the headline and by line actually works pretty well. (I've been doing it that way for years in Quark) 

I did try that command you sent me: 

	set myStory to parent story of selection tell myStory 

And that does help a lot. Now I have access to the whole story and can get it formated without having to select all the type first. I still would like to not have to select anything, but this is much more useable 

thanks
