Set find what of find text preferences to 'Paris' I was afraid I wouldn't be able to work out how to do that on my own, but it turned out to be fairly easy: So it was a welcome revelation when I realized that I could work such cases into the script too. One thing that seemed discouraging about it was that while there are a lot of things that I can confidently change all instances of, there are others that I want to check, or that I'm sure I want to change sometimes but sometimes not. I've been working on my big Esperanto yearbook conversion script. In the text selected case I didn't see precisely what you did or why or when. In the selection = '' case I didn't see why adding 'tell active document' was advisable or necessary, and it also seemed that an additional 'end tell' line would have to be added manually (which seems counter to the automating idea).

I get that I can insert the 'tell app' and 'end tell' lines automatically rather than having to type them in or copy them from another script, and I've cloned the Finder script replacing 'Finder' with 'Adobe InDesign CS3', but I didn't do the rest of it because I didn't understand it. (My few InDesign scripts were already application-wide, except for my three 'User' scripts Cocaine.scpt, Heroin.scpt and Marijuana.scpt: set contents of myTextFrame to 'I want some cocaine!', etc.) Maybe this is because I may have moved the Script Editor Scripts folder to my user Library? I can check that quick enough. When I control-click in a Script Editor window I get menu items all right, but nothing with 'Tell Blocks' as a submenu. Wrapping InDesign scripts in tell application does seem easy enough, though I'm afraid either I don't understand the method, or it doesn't work for me, or both. I now see I have to check 'Subscribe to this discussion by email' on the forum page, so I'll do that in the future. I was somehow expecting to receive replies via e-mail because that's how I'd posted the questions, so I didn't see these until now.
