AppleScript Microsoft Word - Find phrase including newline character

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have a Word document that uses a phrase in two places. The one I want to find has a carriage return after it.

Is there a way to search for a phrase that includes the carriage return (newline)?

#2

Maybe something like this?

set targetText to "phrase I am looking for"
tell application "Microsoft Word"
	activate
	set docRange to find object of selection
	execute find (docRange) find text targetText & "^p"
end tell

I don’t actually know what I’m doing, but a web search suggested it and it seems to work.
