Can I put forced line breaks into InDesign CS2?

I hope the Subject says it all :slight_smile:

I am trying to AppleScript an InDesign document with forced line breaks (shift-return in InDesign).
I’ve tried the obvious \n with no luck (it types"\n")

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you are using InDesign’s search/replace function you need to use “^n” for a forced line break.

this actually seems stranger than I thought!

I’m developing in Script Debugger 3.0.9 and there seems to be a tendency for it to change ‘\n’ into ‘\r’

maybe I’ll upgrade to 4.0!!!
