Hi shane,

Ok, If I search the word "hammer", your script stop on the second page ! On the first page, no text frame, and on the second one, the word "hammer" appear in 3 text frames.
 

 
Here is the log: 

 
-- 
Script �index ind� started 
tell application "InDesign 2.0" 
�count every page of document 1 
�-->�31 
�search all page items of page 1 of document 1 for "hammer" 
�search all page items of page 2 of document 1 for "hammer" 
end tell 
Script �index ind� finished 
�-->�InDesign 2.0 a g�n�r� une erreur : all page items of page 2 of document 1 ne comprend pas le message search. 

My translation: 
�-->�InDesign 2.0 generated an error: all page items of page 2 of document 1 does not understand the message "search". 
-- 

 
Now, I remove the word hammer on page 2, but it appear on the page 11. Unfortunately, the script stop on the second page, with the same error.
 
Shane, don't spend to more time with this stuff. I understand your way: just a big loop through the document.
 
Thank !
 

 
Olivier.
