Hi Dave.

That makes sense, but I get an error"Can't get line -2 of "my paragraph text here" when placed in the script:-
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	activate
	set myselection to selection
	set mypound to search myselection for "�"
	repeat with n from (count of mypound) to 1 by -1
		set mypara to paragraph 1 of item n of mypound
		--if contents of line -1 of mypara contains tab then
		--	exit repeat
		--end if
		set contents of insertion point -1 of line -2 of mypara to return
	end repeat
end tell

Also, I need to add a condition not to place a return if the line contains a tab. This also fails with error "Cant get last line of "My paragraph text here" I have commented it out on the sample.
I am going VERY gray over this!!

Cheers Dave

Roy
