Dave:

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, the script crashes on the search command, not when I test the results of the search. Actually, all I'm trying to do is replace text I no longer need with a null string.

BTW, additional testing revealed that I needed as little as the following in the text frame to force a crash:

[~B][~I] After all,
 we have some of the most creative and imaginative people actually creating the scripts right here in the plant. (~I)What if they do a really bad job of it?[~I] (~I)(~B)Do I have enough checks and balances installed to make this process robust?[~B][~I]

After testing the above, I said "Aha! The script doesn't like searching for the same string twice!" (note the same string at the beginning and the end of the text) So I deleted all text except the following:

[~B][~I][~B][~I]

and ran the script. InDesign did not crash and the script ran successfully.

So, I am well and truly stumped.

TIA.
