Shane -- 

Thx very much. That worked. 

Ole-- 

The "Inserter" is working fine. A couple of quex, though: 

 			--Okay, now we want to find addresses that span multiple lines.  			set myFoundItems to search story 1 of myDocument with find attributes {applied character style:character style "address" of myDocument}  			repeat with myCounter from (count myFoundItems) to 1 by -1  				set myFoundItem to item myCounter of myFoundItems  				set myFirstBaseline to baseline of character 1 of myFoundItem  				set myLastBaseline to baseline of character -1 of myFoundItem  				set myParaEndBaseline to baseline of character -2 of paragraph 1 of myFoundItem   

1) Why both "myLastBaseline" and "myParaEndBaseline"? Wouldn't just the ParaEnd do the trick? 

2) I'm confused on the "character -1" and "character -2" bits. "Character 1" is the first char in the myFoundItem, right? So is "character -1" the character before (to the right of) myFoundItem or after? and why "-2" on the paragraph -- is that because of the para character? 

Thx again! 

Jay
