    Hi
    You could do this with GREP. Try something like this:
    In the GREP tab of Find/Change, Search for:
    ([\u])([\u]+)
    And change to:
    $1(The character you want to add)$2

    And you have to Specify “italic” as an attribute to find

    It would have been much more understandable with a picture, but I didn’t know how to upload one.

    Hope this helps

    By “such features” do you mean the (.overflows) property? I found that by going through the object browser. From there it was mostly trial and error. I also read Adobe’s scripting guide and tutorial(along with some posts and topics here) which helped with the rest.
    After determining the overflowing cells, it was only a matter of reducing the horizontal scale of the text in it.

    I watched the video, Thanks.

    I did some research on scripts myself and wrote one that does this, along with some other things.

    You are right, this is really an editorial problem. But, what I’m dealing with is a kind of crossword puzzle with clues inside the cells. The magazine is published three times a month and with at least 30 pages each time. So, you’d agree that the size of the tables cannot be changed, and as there is a finite number of words(or clues for that matter) with a specific character count, after a while the designers have no choice but to use longer clues. Hence my problem…

    Thank you, Kai
    I agree that shortening the text is always better, but the text in each cell is usually no longer than a word or two, so there really isn’t any thing I can do there.
    Is there such a script available? If there is, could you share the link?
