(AS) Select Paragraph Text without highlighting carriage return

(AS) Select Paragraph Text without highlighting carriage return character.

I need help with selecting a paragraph located in a story.
The selection should not contain a "hard return" (ASCII number 13")

My current sample is shown below:
-- sample assumes that insertion point is already placed within a specific paragraph...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
activate   
set theDoc to active document
    tell theDoc
    select paragraph 1 of selection
end tell --theDoc
end tell --app

It seems simple... The above sample will select my chosen paragraph,

but it also selects the carriage return also. How would I go about doing this?

Any advice would be helpful!

Thank you!
