	>>Just a question, how would you implement multiple words, in the script below? I want to replace multiple word with this script.

	 This is how I would do it, put the script into a handler and call the handler from your script:
	--------Script begins-------
change ("Formaat", "Format")
change ("Size", "Groote")
change ("size", "groote")
change ("color", "kleur")
change ("Color", "Kleur")
on change (findText, replaceText)
	tell application "QuarkXPress"
		tell current box of front document
			set i to count words
			repeat with x from 1 to i
				considering case
					if word x is findText then set word x to replaceText
				end considering
			end repeat
		end tell
	end tell
end change

-----end of script------

Keep in mind this solution only works if you're replacing single words at a time.

If you're replacing multiple words:

change  ("los angeles", "Los Angeles")

Then you may want to use the solution I provided earlier.
