Running Kai's script ...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
        tell document 1
                set selection to text from character 1
of selection to character -2
of selection
        end tell
end tell

... generates the following error:

"Adobe InDesign CS2 got an error: Invalid value for
set property
'selection'. Expected object, list of objects or
nothing, but received
nothing."


Rick,

I believe that the selection is a property of the
application not of the document. This works perfectly
for me.

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	set selection to text from character 1 to character
-2 of selection
end tell
