Hi Samuli Seppala,

Instead of:



Set myText = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).Texts.Item(1)

Use:

Set myTextFrame = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).TextFrames.Item(1) 
Set myText = myTextFrame.Texts.Item(1)

The objects inside a group are page items--Text is not a page item, but TextFrame is. If you look at the Group object, you'll see that it can contain TextFrames, but not Texts.

Thanks,

Ole
