Dave, 

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, I get an error message: 
InDesign 2.0.1 got an error: Cant't set find preferences of story " FILE NAME" to nothing. -10006 

Here's the whole script: 

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1" 
	set myStory to parent of selection 
	tell myStory 
		set find preferences to nothing 
		set change preferences to nothing 
		tell document 1 
			search with find attributes {find text:"/"} with change attributes {change text:"/"} 
		end tell 
		set find preferences to nothing 
		set change preferences to nothing 
		tell document 1 
			set theStyle to character style "Superscript" 
			search with find attributes {find text:"^9^9/"} with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle} 
			search with find attributes {find text:"^9/"} with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle} 
			set theStyle to character style "Subscript" 
			search with find attributes {find text:"/^9^9"} with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle} 
			search with find attributes {find text:"/^9"} with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle} 
			set theStyle to character style "Virgule" 
			search with find attributes {find text:"/"} with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle} 
		end tell 
	end tell 
end tell 

What'd I miss? The script works fine otherwise, but acts on ALL text blocks. 

Jon.
