If you use SelectionMove[] to make sure the Dynamic thing is selected, then you can evaluate the following code: FrontEndExecute[ FrontEnd`NotebookDynamicToLiteral[NotebookSelection[nb]]] where nb is the appropriate NotebookObject. This will literalize *everything* in the selection, which includes not just Dynamics, but also counters. You could also literalize an entire notebook using this formulation... FrontEndExecute[FrontEnd`NotebookDynamicToLiteral[nb]] Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
