Hi Ole!

Thanks. This helps me a lot.

was able to isolate the problem with this crashing code snippet:

Dim MyIndesign
Dim myLibrary
Dim myAsset
Set myIndesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
Set myTable = myInDesign.Selection.Item(1).Tables.Item(1)
Set myReplace0 = myTable.Search("^s", False, False, "")

The problem is the "^s". It's a nonbreaking space. To reproduce the crash try the following:

1. New document
2. Add a text frame and a 1 row/3col table in it.
3. From left to right add one nonbreaking space to the first cell, one to the second and two to the third.
4. Now select the textframe and run the script above => crash. Well, at least on my pc.

Alex
