Kari--

Didn't it work as posted? Or did you want to limit the find/change operation to the selected story?

re: object references being confusing

I agree. I'm told that it's an AppleScript "standard" that when you get a text object, you get the string contained by the text object, and that you use the object reference to get the object itself. To me, at least, this is completely counterintuitive--I expect to get the object, and then get the string from the object's contents if I need to.

This won't change, so it's just something we need to remember every time we're working with text objects.

Thanks,

Ole
