Doesn't seem to work quite right...so I went with the script. I have one more problem now, though. I want to transform paragraphs into 'returns' (what you get when you do shift-enter. I'm not having a lot of success finding and replacing, though. The $ regexp finds the end of a paragraph just find, but I don't know what to replace it with. \n just puts in another paragraph. \r doesn't do anything. That dialog box doesn't let you input shift-return. Hints appreciated. Thanks, -- David N.
