You could say repeat with p in every page or document 1 repeat with a in every text box of p repeat with c in every character of a or tell front document repeat with p from 1 to count of pages repeat with a from 1 to count of text boxes of page p repeat with c from 1 to count of characters of text box c Also not sure on if the way you are doing the replacement would work. -Mark No rest for the wicked.
