Thanks for your help, Dave and Jay.

Inspired by Dave's script i wrote/borrowed this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set find preferences to nothing
	set change preferences to nothing
	with timeout of 100 seconds
		search active document with find attributes {find text:" ^p"} with change attributes {change text:"" & return}
	end timeout
end tell

The "funny" thing with this script is that it worked while creating and testing it, but on the last test it crashed InDesign, and has done so ever since. The line "{change text:"" & return}" does only work if "" contains a character (a, b, c) but not a metacharacter (^p, ^n) or a (�). I've tried {change text:return & ""}, {change text:nothing} and {change text:""} with same crashing effect.

Weird? or logic?

Thanks
Fernando
