Applescript, slightly off-topic...

[tkuypers at pandora.be]

You might not know InDesign, but you sure know how to think and try to work
around bugs ;-)

Tried that already, same result however...

I am trying to export the text as RTF and let the user do some cleanup in
RR... That gives me more options and the search & replace works the way it
should work...

Thanks anyway.
