Finding and changing text

The Find/Change palette (Edit menu) lets you perform standard search-and-replace operations. In addition, you can use this palette to:

  • Find and change using wild card characters: Command+Shift+?/Ctrl+Shift+?
  • Find and change text formatting, including style sheet, font, size, color, and type style (including OpenType styles)
  • Constrain find/change operations to a single story, or to an entire layout
  • Find and change based on character language (see “Applying a character language“)
  • Find and change ligatures
  • Find and change invisible characters (see the Keyboard Command Guide)

Press Option/Alt to change the Find Next button to Find First. To search and replace based on formatting attributes, uncheck Ignore Attributes.
