Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately,

set MyFound to (first character of paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame is "<E00D>")

doesn't work either.

I have discovered that:

1) If I insert the ornament character using the "Insert Glyph" palette, Applescript tells me that it is a "3", not the Unicode character <E00D> (but it does look and print like the Unicode character <E00D> of the Adobe Caslon Pro font).

2) If I insert the ornament character using Applescript, Applescript tells me that it is the Unicode character <E00D>.

3) The following script doesn't work at all:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set MyTextFrame to page item "PaveCorpsDuTexte" of active document
	set paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame to "<E00D>" & return
	get the index of the paragraphs of MyTextFrame whose contents contains "<E00D>"
	--result: {166, 472}
	get character 1 of paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame
	--result: "<E00D>"
	set MyFound to (character 1 of paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame is "<E00D>")
	--result: false
	display dialog (MyFound)
end tell

4) Whereas the following script kind of work:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set MyTextFrame to page item "PaveCorpsDuTexte" of active document
	set paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame to "<E00D>" & return
	get the index of the paragraphs of MyTextFrame whose contents contains "<E00D>"
	--result: {166, 472}
	get character 1 of paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame
	--result: "<E00D>"
	set MyCharacter to character 1 of paragraph 2 of MyTextFrame
	set MyFound to (MyCharacter is "<E00D>")
	--result: true
	display dialog (MyFound)
end tell

So, now, my problems are:

I don't understand why the outcome of 3 is not the same as the outcome of 4 (I can live with that).

I don't know how to make the difference between "<E00D>" and "3" when I have inserted the glyph in the document using the UI.

So, again, any help appreciated.

Thanks again, Chris.

Yours Sincerely,

Gilles Le Pors
