Mike-- 

Dave is right again. If you're doing something that changes the number of paragraphs, you've got to iterate backwards. As in: 

For myCounter = myStory.Paragraphs.Count to 1 Step -1 
... 
Next 
 

Depending on what you're doing, you might also have to change the order of your operations in order to keep your paragraph object references from going out of date. The good news is that paragraph references are much more "solid" in VB than in AppleScript--when I'm wearing my AppleScript hat, I have to worry about dealing with text references which are *always* character x through character y of story z, so simply changing the count of characters can result in invalid text object references. 

Thanks, 

Ole
