How do I 'attach' to a paragraph in a PowerPoint Text Frame?

[Uzi]

Hi all
Text bullets in a PowerPoint text frame are represented as
'paragraphs' which are 'TextRange' objects
Within my add-in, I have information associated with specific
paragraphs in a text frame, for example, certain data is associated
with paragraph number 2.
The problem: when a new paragraph is inserted by the user above
paragraph 2, for example, after paragraph 1, my paragraph 2 now becomes
paragraph 3 and the newly added paragraph is now paragraph 2.
Since a paragraph is not a shape on its own but rather, a 'TextRange'
object, which it's properties change depending on the paragraph
content (text, start position, length), how can I maintain the
association between my data and a paragraph?
I know it must be possible because it happens when an animation effect
object is associated with a paragraph: when a new paragraph is inserted
above the animated paragraph, the animation effect stays connected to
it's original paragraph. But how??
Thanks!
Uzi

Could you create a named Range for the first word of the paragraph?
Then, that range will move when the paragraph moves, but the name of
the range will stay the same.
