I am not sure how to go about this in applescript since there are multiple pages in the documents that I work with. Basically I am selecting a block of text that is from one document and placing it into another document in a specific place and then locking the newly placed box in the document. There are additional items that are to be removed on the page as well as on two other pages in the document. If I can write an applescript for selecting the text box, place it and locking it and then removing the remaining unlocked items on all the pages, it would give me half a day to learn to script other things! ha ha.
Thanks to Shane on helping me on my last dilemma!
