Here's an interesting conundrum: The following script, copied from one of Rick's previous posts, works perfectly and replaces all soft returns in a document. ...

Hello Peter, Sorry for the brief response, but I don't have my structured Frame scripts handy. IIRC, you need to create a new attributelist with the desired...
Thanks Eric, That was pretty much as far I got with the ref materials/this site etc. - and I was stumped!! I'm not sure if I'm over-cooking this but today I've...

Hi Rick. Unless I greatly misunderstand you, I believe you just need a series of nested loops, driven by a series of string lists. The rough algorithm is: New...
OK, Here's a hack, er, excuse me, an algorithm. Before you populate each of the string lists, begin by adding a member[1] that contains "IgnoreMe" (or whatever...
Hi Simon, You are right, except if one or more of the lists is empty, it short-circuits everything. Rick Hi Rick. Unless I greatly misunderstand you, I believe...
