Peter,
Excellent! I have not tried it with the line number but the paragraph number works perfectly. It is rather convoluted how one has to arrive at the end, but I guess that is scripting.

Robert,
You referred me to another discussion but that is about creating indexes. I had read it earlier but did not find it useful for this problem.

Here is a snippet of the code:

var paraNumber = myFoundSet[n].parentStory.characters.itemByRange(myFoundSet[n].parentTextFrames[0].insertionPoints[0].index,myFoundSet[n].index).paragraphs.length;

Thanks again,
Tom
