Yeah !!! Thanks Shane, you point me to the solution in the thread "'Merge Cells' syntax? [AS]" This is the script (search a dot and replace by a period in a cell(s) selection) set theSearchString to "." set theReplaceString to "," tell application "InDesign 2.0.2" set mySelection to selection if (count mySelection) ? 1 then set myClass to class of item 1 of selection if myClass is cell then -- store find/change preferences set myOldFindAttributes to properties of find preferences set myOldChangeAttributes to properties of change preferences -- clear find/change preferences set find preferences to nothing set change preferences to nothing set mySelection to cells of selection set cellCount to count of mySelection repeat with myCounter from 1 to cellCount tell item myCounter of mySelection try search for theSearchString replacing with theReplaceString end try end tell end repeat -- restore find/change preferences set properties of find preferences to myOldFindAttributes set properties of change preferences to myOldChangeAttributes end if end if end tell Olivier.
