[Framers] Search for text + tag?

[Craig Ede]

Try this:

Copy the phrase (without the paragraph marker at the end).

Do a replace selecting "Text and Character Formats on the Clipboard" in the search item.

Replace with a nonsense phrase used nowhere in the document, like "#$@@@$".

Copy to the clipboard an instance of the paragraph tag you would like to use for the phrase.

Do a second replace, selecting text and using the nonsense phrase as the search item and replace with the "By Pasting" option.

Do a Change All. (Your nonsense text now has the paratag you want.)

Do a third replace where you replace the nonsense phrase with the text you started with (both search and replace items should be set to "Text")


Note: This could fowl you up if the phrase is formatted with font characteristics somewhere with a character format that mimics the format of the original para format, but that is unlikely.


Good luck.


Craig

That will paste the phrase, not the paragraph tag.

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
