Hi fellow scripter, 
 
 I would like to make a 'search and replace' handler.
 I try this, without result:
 --
 set SearchString to "���"
 set ReplaceString to "***"
 
 tell application "InDesign 2.0"
 �tell myDocument
 ��set every text of every story where it is SearchString to ReplaceString
 �end tell
 end tell
 --
 
 Any idea ?
 
 TIA
 
 Olivier.
