Hi,

it seems your lines should have solved the issue, but I usually get an error saying "object is invalid" on the second line. It works only if I remove the end:
myPara = app.activeDocument.indexes.item(0).topics.item(0).pageReferences.item(0).sourceText.paragraphs[0]
myPcount = myPara.parent.texts.itemByRange(0, myPara.index)//.paragraphs.length;

Did you try to run these lines and it worked fine?

You know, I think I write the bigger picture:

I am getting a Word file to typeset with index markers inside. The only problem is that Word recognizes PAGE RANGES, while InDesign does not (I mean the ones coming from Word). So my text editor and I agreed on specail "signs" to show where a page range begings and ends.
For example:
INDEX
DogsYYY, 15
DogsZZZ, 20

When I see this I know i need to change the index marker in InDesign to be like that:
INDEX
Dogs, 15-20

Now, when you do it on 1, 2, 3 index markers, it is not so bad. But if you do it on hundreds of them - the fun stops ;) pretty crazy, ha?

So the goal is to make a script to do this simple mechanical action. And this is the bigger picture. I didn't find anything on the internet for it, which is quite surprising... Doesn't anyone else get their text from Word with index markers and page ranges?

Anyway, any sort of help will be greatly appriciated, as I am a *bit* closer to desperate.
