And as of Frame 10, you can also search for Character Format Override and Paragraph Format Override, so you don't even need to search for a specific tag. <br><br>If you do search for a specific tag, remember that the first time you find it, you can reapply the tag to clear the override, then Copy Special the Character Format and do a search and replace for the rest of the book.<br>

If I'm reading your message right, you should be choosing "Character
Tag:" in the Find dialog, rather than a "Character Format." The
former searches for text with the assigned character style. The
latter finds text with specific attributes, which may or may not
have been assigned a character style.<br>

them with correct ones. I've used Character Tools to generate a
list of formats by file so I know which ones are in each document
of my book. I choose "Character Format..." in the Find/Change
palette, type the character format name in the entry field, check
the "Consider Case" checkbox, check the "Document" radio button to
check only the open document, and click "Find." <br>
<br>
Usually, the "Find Character Format" dialog appears. I can't
possibly remember all the properties I assigned to every format I
created, and certainly wouldn't know the properties of a rogue or
legacy style that I didn't create. I just want to find the format
by the name assigned to it. Shouldn't those names appear in the
scrollable entry field of the Find/Change palette, the same way
paragraph styles do? (Not even default character styles show up.)
Must I generate a long CT report on all styles to get the
properties to complete this dialog?<br>
<br>
If I close this dialog and try again, a "Specify the character
format to find" alert appears. <br>
<br>
My documents have only an A flow. I doubt the character format I'm
looking for would be on a master page. Even if a style or two were
in an unanchored box, for example, that doesn't explain all styles
not being available or found.<br>
<br>
I'm sure this is a case of user error. What am I doing wrong?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
