I am currently working on an InDesign CS2 script using Apple's Applescript. Since I am relatively new to scripting this will probably be very trivial to some out there. I am having trouble telling InDesign to search for a specific character "x" and replace it with a bullet while ALSO changing the paragraph style to a set style called "City". Ultimately this script will search the Excel document that I place into InDesign and format the text accordingly�and save me time from manually applying the specific paragraph style.
Thanks for any input and more!
-Jason
