Roy,

If you want to find and replace in the whole document, then just this line will do:

app.activeDocument.search("roy",false,false,"ROY");

If you want to find and replace in just one story, you select that story and you need these two lines:

myStory=app.selection[0].parentStory;
myStory.search("roy",false,false,"ROY");

which by the way could also be written as one line: app.selection[0].parentStory.search("roy",false,false,"ROY")

The meaning of "false" you can find in the scripting guide: look under 'story', then go to the methods, and on p. 1001 you'll find the answer.

Peter
