INSERTION POINTS IN THE HIERARCHY
An insertion point specifies where you want to place an object within the
container hierarchy. As you create and insert objects in the hierarchy, the
index reference form for existing objects may change.
AFTER
Usage: to insert or create an object after a specified object (the specified object
will not be the container). For example, use
after to move the first paragraph
in a story so that it follows the seventh paragraph.
move paragraph 1 to after paragraph 7
BEFORE
Usage: to insert or create an object before the specified object (the specified
object will not be the container). For example, use “before” to paste a copy of
the fifth word before the first word in a sentence.
duplicate word 5 to before word 1
BEGINNING
Usage: to insert or create an object at the beginning of the specified container.
For example, use “beginning” to insert a word as the first word of a paragraph.
move word 1 to beginning of paragraph 1
ENDING
Usage: to insert or create an object at the end of the specified container.
For example, use “ending” to create a text box that is the last text box on
the layout page.
make text box at end
