Duh, sorry. I answered that like it was a regular InDy question, not a scripting question. I looked at "WordRTF Preferences" in the scripting dictionary, and it applies to RTF and Word files, so if you set that preference to "no break", it should work. If you want to do a search and replace after the import, you can do something like this: tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" set myPageBreak to page break set myReturn to return tell active document set myStory to object reference of parent story of selection tell myStory set theBreaks to (index of every character whose contents = myPageBreak) repeat with j from 1 to (count of theBreaks) set theNum to item j of theBreaks set contents of character theNum to myReturn end repeat end tell end tell end tell
