Ton-- Jay's right, it's a known bug in the Mac OS version. I wanted to note, in addition, that you should use the InDesign metacharacters that you'd enter in the Find What and Change To fields of the Find/Change dialog box. Platform-specific special character constants (such as "return" and "tab" in AppleScript or vbCr and vbTab in VBScript) are not guaranteed to work. (You can't enter a return or tab in the dialog box, so you shouldn't expect to enter it via scripting.) Stick with the metacharacters--"^p" for return, "^t" for tab, etc., and you should be OK. Thanks, Ole
