Dave,
Thanks for the tip. I was a little surprised that I had to end the TELL on the search for the "/" before I made the character style changes, but if I didn't, the program would crash every time.
Here's what I ended up with:
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
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
Thanks for your help!
