Quark 4.11 Question

OS 9.2.2, QXP 4.11

I need to know if I can name a range of text or a similar mechanism to
identify a text range.

I find the text like this:

set myTest to (object reference of every text of every story whose (it is
"adPageReference"))
set selection to myTest

This selects the text found, but I want to be able to somehow tag this text
so I may reference this text by name or other mechanism. It is the location
of the text that is important, the contents of this text location may be
variable.

QXP won't let you anchor the "next, current, previous" characters, I'm
trying to find a way around that. There will be in-line anchored .eps ads in
line listings (like a phone book) that have a text line just beneath them
that says "See ad on page adPageReference" if they also bought a display ad.
I've written the part that finds the display ad and extracts the page it's
found on, I need a method to tie that page found to the text under the
inline ad.

The display ad's box is named, and the text under the inline ad where it
says adPageReference will have a unique identifier to that display ad that
relates to the name of the box.

Any help appreciated.
