I have a table object and want to find the paragraph that contains the table. Then I want to return the contents of the paragraph previous to the table anchor. I am using this, but when I attempt to display the contents of the paragraph, I get "Object is invalid". Thanks for any help you can provide.



 
// Get the paragraph inside the table. 
var oPgf = app.selection[0].paragraphs[0]; 
// Make sure the paragraph is in a cell. 
if (oPgf.parent.constructor.name === "Cell") { 
  // Get the parent cell and table objects. 
  var oCell = oPgf.parent; 
  var oTbl = oCell.parent;

  // Get the paragraph containing the table.	 
  var oPgf2 = oTbl.storyOffset.paragraphs[0]; 
  // Get the story object of the paragraph. 
  var oStory = oPgf.parentStory; 
  // Get the paragraph's index. 
  var iPos = oPgf2.index;

  // Display the contents of the paragraph before the table anchor. 
  alert (oStory.paragraphs[iPos-1].contents); 
}
