Hi,

I would like to make a search and replace in some cells.

When I select some cells and try this script, the only first cell has change. Why ?

set theSearchString to ","
set theReplaceString to "."

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
 activate
 set find preferences to nothing
 set change preferences to nothing

 set myText to item 1 of selection

 tell myText
  search for theSearchString replacing with theReplaceString
 end tell

 set find preferences to nothing
 set change preferences to nothing
end tell

TIA

Olivier.
