Please help, I am really stuck. I have a bunch of classified ads (each is a Paragraph) in three columns (each is a textFrame). I have no control over the foregoing. For each paragraph starting with "##", I need to remove the "##" (this part is easy) and cause the background color of an imaginary rectangle behind the paragraph to be yellow. I get stuck because I do not know how to get the position and height of the paragraph so that I could create a rectangle or a textFrame. An additional requirement is that the Editor (working in InDesign) be able to move the paragraph around along with its yellow background as a single object. Any help would be appreciated.
