Need help moving a paragraph in InDesign CS5

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have a series of paragraphs in a page in InDesign CS5, similar to the following:

Youth Basketball
6/4 - 6/8
9am - 12pm
5 to 12
Registration begins March 5
45
90

Youth Basketball
6/12 - 6/18
9am - 12pm
5 to 12
Registration begins March 5
45
90

I need to move every line that starts with Registration up above the date line. I’ve messed with this all day.
When I run the script I end up with this:

Youth Basketball
Registration begins March 5
Registration begins March 5
Registration begins March 5
Registration begins March 5
Registration begins March 5
6/4 - 6/8
9am - 12pm
5 to 12
Registration begins March 5
45
90

What am I doing wrong, and is there a better way?

[code]tell application “Adobe InDesign CS5.5”
set TheDoc to document 1
set myStory to story 1 of TheDoc

set MoveList to {"Registration"}
tell myStory
	set theCount to count every paragraph in myStory
	repeat with i from 1 to theCount
		if word 1 of paragraph i is in MoveList then
			set GetThis to contents of paragraph i
			set PutHereText to contents of paragraph (i - 3) of myStory
			set NewPara to GetThis & PutHereText as string
			tell paragraph (i - 3)
				set contents to NewPara
			end tell
		end if
		
		
	end repeat
end tell[/code]

G’day

I guess you worked this out by now. But others may still find this helpful.
This works in CS2 ” should be OK for CS5 too (may need to add the ‘as string’ bit perhaps)

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
	tell story 1 of active document
		set theCount to count every paragraph
		repeat with i from 1 to theCount
			try
				if word 1 of paragraph i is "Registration" then
					set GetThis to contents of paragraph i
					set GetThis to (contents of paragraph (i - 4) & GetThis)
					tell paragraph (i - 4)
						set contents to GetThis
					end tell
					delete paragraph (i + 1)
				end if
			end try
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell

Hope that helps someone.
