Thank you Cari,

I got it working using your example, but I still would have liked to be able to paste a tagged string into a text contents. Because this way I first paste the whole string, and then start looking afterwards for the bits that need to be bold.

Is there a way to create a selection by giving the positions within the story or the text.

Greetz,

Erik

ps. here is the resulting code, might be usefull for others:

function HandleBold(pi_doc, pi_text)
{
try
{
// get font name
var myCharacterStyle = pi_text.appliedFont.fontFamily + " BOLD";
// find character style
for ( var i = 0; i < pi_doc.characterStyles.length; i++) { if (pi_doc.characterStyles[i].name == myCharacterStyle) styleFound = true; }

if (!styleFound)
{
// error message
....
}

do //while strong tags are found or more than 100 loops
{
startTagStart 	= pi_text.contents.indexOf("");
endTagEnd = pi_text.contents.indexOf("", startTagStart) + 9;
taggedText = pi_text.contents.substring(startTagStart , endTagEnd);
unTaggedText = pi_text.contents.substring(startTagStart + 8, endTagEnd -9);
var doFindChange = pi_text.search(taggedText, false, true, unTaggedText, undefined, {appliedCharacterStyle:myCharacterStyle});
loopCount++
} while (pi_text.contents.indexOf("", startTagStart) != -1 || loopCount > 99)
}
catch (ex)
{
.....
}
} // HandleBold
