This indeed is a bummer... And very strange that it isn&#8217;t solved in CS...<BR>
Can you set me off with an AppleScript for 2.x please, I tried a lot of things, but keep ending up with way to long scripts of scripts that just don&#8217;t do what they should do...<BR>
Warm regards &amp; many thanks in advance,<BR>
<BR>

There's no good news--the same bug exists in InDesign CS. I'm not sure why it wasn't fixed, as it was a known problem. We can write a script that gets around it, either by writing our own search routine or by using JavaScript's regular expressions (in InDesign CS). But that's not nearly as easy as having it work correctly in the first place. <BR>

Thanks, <BR>
