> Robert: Thanks for your help, unfortunately, it's yielded no results. I still can't manage to style a single paragraph at a time. Seems like it should be simple. Can you explain exactly what an InsertionPoint is? The InDesign Scripting Reference's description is not very informative, and the Scripting Guide gives examples for NOTHING I need to do.

when you create new TextFrame - you also create Story
Each Story have at least one TextFrame
Story have Characters
Each Character have InertionPoint before and after
When you don't select text - only place cursor in text - you select 
InsertionPoint
InsertionPoint have the same params like Character - but don't have Contents

When you write:

Set myStory = myDoc.TextFrames.Add.ParentStory
myStory.Contents = "qweqwe"
Set myInsertionPoint = myStory.InsertionPoints.Item(4)
myInsertionPoints.Contents = "BLA"

you will have:

"qweBLAqwe"

because, first InsertionPoint is before first Character and fourth 
InsertionPoint is after third Character

InsertionPoints.Count = Characters.Count + 1


When you write:

Set myStory = myDoc.TextFrames.Add.ParentStory
myStory.Contents = "qweqwe"
Set myInsertionPoint = myStory.InsertionPoints.Item(4)
myInsertionPoints.AppliedCharacterStyle = myCharStyle
myInsertionPoints.Contents = "BLA"

you will have:

"qweBLAqwe"

and "BLA" is styled using myCharStyle - because before you set Contents 
- you set myCharStyle to myInsertionPoint


AppliedParagraphStyle - you can use it on any "part" of Paragraph - 
InsertionPoint, Character, Word, Line (text line), TextRange, Text - and 
whole Paragraph will be styled

I hope you understand me ;)
