Sam--

Any time you do a find/change in AppleScript where the replacement string is shorter than the find string, you run the risk of crashing. It's a known bug, and will be fixed. It doesn't exist on the Windows side at all, so it's something specific to AppleScript.

In the meantime, try something like this to replace double-returns (this also avoids the problem of incorrect paragraph style assignment Dave has mentioned elsewhere).



tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" 
	tell active document 
		repeat with myStoryCounter from 1 to (count stories) 
			set myParagraphs to object reference of (paragraphs of story myStoryCounter whose contents = return) 
			repeat with myCounter from (count myParagraphs) to 1 by -1 
				tell item myCounter of myParagraphs to delete 
			end repeat 
		end repeat 
	end tell 
end tell 




Who is the "friend at Adobe"? Can I help them?

Thanks,
