[Framers] Search for text + tag?

[Pat Christenson]

This is kind of a kluge and I haven't had time to test it but it might work. I suggest making a copy of your doc first.

1. Find an instance of the string (I'll use abcd for this sample) in a paragraph that you want to change.
2. Assuming the paragraph tag has unique font properties, copy abcd in that paragraph. ***This won't work if the font properties of this paragraph tag are the same as another paragraph tag used in the document.***
3. Set Find to Text & Character Formats on Clipboard.
4. Set Change to Text: abcd%%%% (be sure to include the "dummy" characters so the changes are easily differentiated from just "abcd")
5. Change All.
6. Find (or create) a paragraph using the format you want to change to.
7. Copy Special - Paragraph Format.
8. Set Find to Text: abcd%%%%
9. Set Change to By Pasting.
10. Change All.
11. Set Find to Text: %%%%
12. Set Change to Text and make sure there's nothing in the Change field.
13. Change All.

Let me know if this works, please!

This should be simple using plain old search/replace. Modify the first instance of the phrase to use the new paragraph tag, and then copy that phrase. Search for the phrase and change by pasting. Use the pull-down to see the "By pasting" option for changing. And, use Change All to make this painless.

Hello Framers,

I want to change all instances of a phrase using one paragraph tag to another tag. I do not want to change all instances of the phrase (it occurs using other tags), nor replace the current tag with the new tag (both tags remain in use). The target phrase-tag combo occurs hundreds of times. Is this possible through find/change or another automated method? Using FM 11.

Thanks very much,

Karen
