re: select method failing 

It's probably because the InsertionPoint is not on the current spread. In InDesign 2.x, you have to make the spread containing the object the active spread (InDesign.ActiveWindow.ActiveSpread) before you attempt to select the object. (In at least some earlier versions of InDesign, the program would make the spread containing the object the active spread when you used the Select method--I'm not sure when it stopped working.) 

The other possibility is that the InsertionPoint is in overset text (i.e., it's not composed in any text frame on any page). You can check for this by looking at the InsertionPoint.Baseline property--if you get an error, it's because the InsertionPoint is in overset text. 

Thanks, 

Ole
