Episode 30: Find…Change…Format!
Most of you are probably familiar with the concept of Find/Change (or Search and Replace, or whatever your word processing, spreadsheet or text editing program calls it). InDesign boasts a robust and powerful Find/Change feature that incorporates its even more powerful Paragraph and Character Style features, allowing you to search for and replace text, limit searches to specifically-formatted text, apply styles as text is replaced, and much more.
In this extended episode, I take an in-depth look at the power of Find/Change…starting with the basics, revealing the hidden extras, and building up to completely formating a three-page layout using only Find/Change operations.
I think you’ll find that what you learn here will change how you work. (Sorry…I just can’t resist a cheap joke.)
