Running Kai's script ...
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
tell document 1
set selection to text from character 1 of selection to character -2 of selection
end tell
end tell
... generates the following error:
"Adobe InDesign CS2 got an error: Invalid value for set property 'selection'. Expected object, list of objects or nothing, but received nothing."
And this is with a valid text selection active and highlighted, with the text tool chosen.
I would certainly expect this to work, coming from more Quark than InDesign scripting experience.
This snippet, based on Malcolm's suggestion, deletes the last return, as did his unmodified version. I'm still stumped.
...
set text of selection to (characters 1 thru -2 of (text of selection) as text) as text
...
