Hi,My idea is:- use 'bullet' as a textFindPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle set;- story.findText() will create an array (let say StartArr) of those paragraphs;- use 'bullet2' as a textFindPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle set;- story.findText() will create an array (let say EndArr) of those paragraphs;we can assume both arrays are with same length, I think.- you could iterate through those arrays and catch a "start" and "end" paragraphs. - if 'start' paragraph would be a myStory.paragraphs.nextItem(StartArr[0].paragraphs[-1]) ==> 'end' paragraph would be: myStory.paragraphs.previousItem(EndArr[0].paragraphs[0]);- so your 1st part of text could be a part of story defined by  story.paragraphs.itemByRange(start,end).texts[0]and so on...watch this discussion:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1162582?tstart=0rgds
