Hi

I dug this script out of the archive as it's almost what I need...

tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"?    set find preferences to nothing?    set change preferences to nothing?    set theStyle to paragraph style "Bullet" of document 1?    search document 1 for "x" replacing with "y" with change attributes?{applied paragraph style:theStyle}?end tell

However, I need to replace "x" with "" (nothing at all) when I try this it skips the find/replace but still changes the formatting?

thanks

low
