you're mixing pre-cs3- , cs3+ styles. don't need loop change multiplication sign:

 

app.findtextpreferences = nothingenum.nothing;

app.changetextpreferences = nothingenum.nothing;

 

app.findtextpreferences.appliedfont = "mathematical pi";

app.findtextpreferences.fontstyle = "1";

app.findtextpreferences.findwhat = "3";

 

app.changetextpreferences.changeto = "<00d7>";

app.changetextpreferences.appliedcharacterstyle = "symbols";

 

app.activedocument.findtext();

 

as changing greek characters, how easy depends on whether greek characters mapped same font positions in math pi , symbol fonts. instance, math pi 'a' , symbol 'a' both alpha?
