I am trying to do a replace with characters defined in the enumeration idSpecialCharacters. I don't think that most of these values have equivalents in unicode.

Here's my code (which fails). I am trying to replace the string "\n\" with an En Space character (which is not the same as the ascii decimal 32 character)

inDesignDocument.Search("\n\", False, True, InDesign.idSpecialCharacters.idEnSpace)

Has anybody done this?

Thanks!
