Hi guys Anyone able to explain why the marked line of code throws up an error: -- Inserts cell data and applies a style tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2" set aDocument to active document tell aDocument set CurrentCount to (count of characters of text frame 1) + 1 ****set applied font of insertion point of text frame 1 to CurrentFont**** set contents of insertion point CurrentCount of text frame 1 to (CurrentText & return) end tell end tell Error message reads " Adobe InDesign CS2 got an error: Can't set applied font of insertion point of text frame 1 of document "blah.indd" to "Helvetica" It doesn't matter what font I use either for CurrentFont (obvioulsy set in an earlier section of code) or even if I dispense with the variable and use a font name. If I surround the line witha TRY statement then it bypasses the step and populates the document with the CurrentText data - I just can't change the font.... Help is really appreciated!
