Changing text styles

[Yves Barbion]

Hi Scott,

you can do this as follows:

   1. Create a character format, for example <emphasis>, in which you
      only specify that Weight should be Bold. Make sure that the other
      properties (Family, Size, Angle...) are set to As Is. You can
      easily do this by clicking outside the text frame when you have
      the Character Designer open.
   2. Create a user variable, for example "company_name", with a
      definition like this <emphasis>ABC Company, Inc.<Default ¶ Font>
   3. Find the first occurrence of ABC Company, Inc. and replace it with
      the company_name user variable.
   4. Copy this variable.
   5. Find: ABC Company, Inc. and Change: By Pasting.

Good luck and best regards
