Hi,

cursor moved before first word "hotel" found in myDoc:

myDoc = app.activeDocument;
app.findTextPreferences = null;
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "hotel";
mWord = myDoc.findText()[0];
if (mWord) 
     mWord.insertionPoints[0].select();
else 
     (alert ("not found") );

Hi schiuma,

Could you please use this code also.

Only difference from the above code is  "if(myFound.parent.constructor.name == "Cell")"

 //Code is below
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
 app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "hotel";
 var myFound = myDoc.findText();
 for(i=0; i<myFound.length; i++)
{
    if(myFound.parent.constructor.name == "Cell")
    {
        myFound.insertionPoints[0].select();
        }
    else
    {
        alert("not found")
        }
     }

Thanks
