Add: Part One, Part Two.......and so on

Question

I have a large document I want to add Part One, Part Two........... and so on to the beginning of each chapter title automatically, with a script, is this possible, and can someone (as I'm not so great a scripting) show me an example?
Many thanks

Hmmmm (thinking). It might boil down to this: search for your chapter titles (by style? I'll be assuming that!), insert 'part xx' before. Searching is no problem; inserting stuff is, because it messes up the 'found item' array. Let's start at the end, shall we. This code is not tested!
var numerals = [ "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen" ]; (etc.)
app.findTextPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.findTextPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = "ChapterTitle"; // [!! YOUR STYLE NAME HERE !!]
allFoundItems = app.activeDocument.findText(true);
// This returns the items in REVERSE ORDER :-)
if (allFoundItems.length > numerals.length)
  alert ("We're gonna need a bigger boat");
  exit(0);
for (occurrence=0; occurrence<allFoundItems.length; occurrence++)
  allFoundItems[occurrence].insertionPoints[-1].contents = "Part "+numerals[allFoundItems.length-occurrence-1]+"\r";
The 'allFoundItems' array is in reverse order (as requested by findText), so the numbers should be inserted last-to-first. Let me know how that worked out
