Ole,  

Thanks a million! I got it working! (well sort of, see below.) I would NEVER have been able to do it without the sample you provided here. 

Now, I have one small problem left. A lot of the test questions have the following for answers (C) and (D) -- 

Both A and B Neither A nor B 

I got it all working, including the "B" in the above, but I can't figure out how to do the "A" -- if I tell it to do it on "[space]A[space]" it will also do it on a lot of sentences that start with "A." 

I'm thinking that I will need another loop that searches for "Both A" and "Neither A" and then changes just the rightmost character of each string. 

Am I thinking this through correctly?  

Has anyone told you what a gold mine you are? 

Oh, and I haven't figured out how to get the script into the InDesign palette yet. I'm running it from Visual Basic window. But I'll deal with that after I figure out this last issue.
