> But how could I find out the index of this paragraph within the selected paragraphs to start the second loop at this index? (Is it the second, the third, the fourth or another paragraph of the selection?)

you need to write your own procedure - here is VB example ;)

Function ReturnParaIndex( _
	myLastPara As Long, _
	myCharacter As InDesign.Character) As Long
     Dim a As Long

     For a = myLastPara To myStory.Paragraphs.Count
         If myCharacter.Index = myStory.Paragraphs.Item(a).Index Then
             ReturnParaIndex = a
             Exit For
         End If
     Next a
End Function

of course - you can past as second parameter Index of character ;)
and myStory could be as third parameter, too ;)
