Jay,

Your script worked perfectly, thanks a million! I tried on a small bit first, then larger bits. 50 references were formatted in just a few seconds. This has saved me literally DAYS of work. Now I'll try refining it a bit. Like instead of bold and italic, applying character styles. Also I wonder if instead of "story" I could use "selection", since references are actually part of the main story which contains the whole article. (The way I run your script now is by cutting and pasting on a different frame and then putting the text back to the main story. but that is a minor thing compared to the otherwise huge savings in time.) If I run into problems there, you might let me trouble you once more.

Thanks again.
