Is there more beautiful way to get reference for next para?

i have insertion point in paragraph.

now need know para style of next paras.

i use huge construction:

 

set mpara0 = myind.selection.item(1).paragraphs.item(1) 'para inder  cursor

set mpara3 = mpara0.insertionpoints.item(-1).paragraphs.item(1) 'third para
set mpara3 = mpara3.insertionpoints.item(-1).paragraphs.item(1)
set mpara5 = mpara3.insertionpoints.item(-1).paragraphs.item(1) 'fifth para
set mpara5 = mpara5.insertionpoints.item(-1).paragraphs.item(1)
paraname3 = mpara3.paragraphs.item(1).appliedparagraphstyle.name
paraname5 = mpara5.paragraphs.item(1).appliedparagraphstyle.name

 

is there other way?

 

thanks.

interesting :-)

 

in js:

 

alert (app.selection[0].parentstory.paragraphs[app.selection[0].paragraphs[0].index+3].appliedp aragraphstyle.name);

 

shows name of style of 3rd paragraph after current one. adjust vb @ -- think should work same.
