Transliterate

You can also convert the grapheme blazon of Asian-language text. For example, you tin search for half-width katakana and supersede it with total-width katakana in Japanese text.

For a video tutorial on finding and changing text, objects, and expressions, see www.adobe.com/get/vid0080.

Find and modify text

If you want to list, find, and supersede fonts in your document, yous might desire to use the Notice Font command instead of the Find/Modify control.

Observe and change text

To search a range of text or a story, select the text or place the insertion point in the story. To search more one certificate, open the documents.

Choose Edit > Find/Alter, so click the Text tab.

Specify the range of your search from the Search bill of fare, and click icons to include locked layers, parent pages, footnotes, and other items in the search.

In the Find What box, describe what you want to search for:

• Type or paste the text you want to find.
• To search for or replace tabs, spaces, or other special characters, select a representative graphic symbol (metacharacter) from the pop‑upwardly menu to the right of the Notice What box. You can also choose wildcard options such as Any Digit or Any Character.



Use metacharacters to search for special characters, such equally a tab.

• Use a predefined query to find and supplant text. (Run across Find/change items using queries.)

In the Change To box, blazon or paste the replacement text. You lot can also select a representative character from the pop‑up menu to the right of the Change To box.

To continue searching, click Observe Side by side, Change (to change the current occurrence), Change All (a message indicates the total number of changes), or Change/Detect (to change the current occurrence and search for the side by side one).

If you don't get the search results you expected, brand certain that yous clear any formatting y'all may accept included in a previous search. You may also need to expand your search. For example, you lot may be searching simply a option or a story instead of the document. Or, you may exist searching for text that appears on an item, such as a locked layer, footnote, or subconscious conditional text, that is currently excluded from the search.

If y'all modify your listen about replacing text, choose Edit > Undo Replace Text (or Undo Replace All Text).

To find the side by side occurrence of a previously searched-for phrase without having to open the Find/Change dialog box, cull Edit > Observe Next. In addition, previous search strings are stored in the Observe/Alter dialog box. You tin select a search string from the menu to the right of the option.

Find and alter formatted text

Cull Edit > Detect/Change.

If the Find Format and Change Format options don't appear, click More Options.

Click the Find Format box, or click the Specify Attributes To Notice icon to the correct of the Find Format Settings section.

On the left side of the Find Format Settings dialog box, select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and then click OK.

Some OpenType formatting options appear in both the OpenType Options and Basic Graphic symbol Formats (Position menu) sections. For information on OpenType and other formatting attributes, search for the related topic in InCopy Help.

To search for (or supervene upon with) formatting only, leave the Find What or Change To box blank.

If you want to apply formatting to the text found, click the Change Format box, or click the Specify Attributes To Change icon in the Modify Format Settings section. Then select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and click OK.

To speedily remove all formatting attributes in the Detect Format Settings or Alter Format Settings sections, click the Clear push button.

Common Find/Change techniques

Wildcard searches

Specify wildcards, such every bit Any Digit or Any White Space, to broaden your search. For example, typing "s^?ng" in the Find What box searches for words beginning with an "s" and ending with "ng," such as "sing," "sang," "vocal," and "sung." You lot tin either type wildcard characters or cull an option from the Wildcards submenu in the pop‑up menu side by side to the Detect What text field.

Clipboard for metacharacter searches

To search for metacharacters such as em dashes or bullet characters, y'all may want to select the text first and paste it into the Find What box to spare the trouble of entering metacharacters. InCopy automatically converts pasted special characters to their metacharacter equivalent.

Supplant with clipboard contents

Yous can supplant search items with either formatted or unformatted content copied to the clipboard. Y'all tin even replace text with a graphic you copied. Simply copy the item, and and so, in the Find/Change dialog box, choose an pick from the Other submenu from the popular‑up menu to the right of the Alter To box.

Find and remove unwanted text

To remove unwanted text, define the text you lot want to remove in the Discover What box and leave the Change To box empty (make sure that no formatting is gear up in this box).

XML tagging

You can apply XML tags to text y'all search for.

Notes on finding and changing text in InCopy

• If the Track Changes control is turned on when yous are changing or replacing text, all added and deleted text is tracked.

• All finding and changing procedures piece of work essentially the same way in Galley, Story, and Layout views, whether you work with a linked or stand-alone story. If yous work with a linked story, you're limited to grapheme and paragraph styles defined in InDesign. When you work in Galley or Story view, yous cannot see all of the typographical effects you apply. You tin come across these effects merely in Layout view.

• In Galley view or Story view, the Discover/Change control omits all collapsed stories. Notwithstanding, if you lot choose Change All, collapsed stories are affected. For all-time results, use Discover/Alter in Layout View.

• The Include Note Content in Discover/Change Operations in Notes preferences determines whether notes are searched. If this option is selected, yous can employ the Detect/Change command to search notes in Galley and Story views, non in Layout view. Airtight notes and footnotes are omitted from the search.

Search options for finding and changing text

Search carte

Contains options that determine the range of the search.

Documents

Search the entire document or All Documents to search all open documents.

Story

Search all text in the currently selected frame, including text in other threaded text frames and overset text. Select Stories to search stories in all selected frames. This option appears only if a text frame is selected or an insertion signal is placed.

To End Of Story

Search from the insertion point. This selection appears only if an insertion point is placed.

Selection

Search only selected text. This pick appears only if text is selected.

Include Locked Layers

Searches for text on layers that have been locked using the Layer Options dialog box. You cannot replace text on locked layers.

Include Locked Stories

Searches for text in stories that accept been checked out as part of an InCopy workflow. Y'all cannot supercede text in locked stories.

Include Hidden Layers

Searches for text on layers that accept been subconscious using the Layer Options dialog box. When text on a subconscious layer is constitute, you tin can see highlighting where the text appears, simply y'all cannot see the text. You can supersede text on hidden layers.

Text in a subconscious condition is ever omitted from searching.

Include parent Pages

Searches for text on parent pages.

Include Footnotes

Searches footnote text.

Case Sensitive

Searches for only the word or words that exactly match the capitalization of the text in the Detect What box. For example, a search for PrePress won't find Prepress, prepress, or PREPRESS.

Whole Word

(Roman text but) Disregards search characters if they are part of a Roman give-and-take. For example, if you are searching for any every bit a whole give-and-take, InDesign disregards many.

Whole Discussion

Disregards search characters if they are office of another word. For example, if you search for any equally a whole word, InDesign disregards many.

Kana Sensitive

Distinguishes between hiragana and katakana. For example, if you search for Tango in hiragana, InDesign disregards Tango in katakana.

Full-Width/Half-Width Sensitive

Distinguishes betwixt one-half-width and full-width characters. For example, if you lot search for ka in one-half-width katakana, InDesign disregards ka in total-width katakana.

Search using GREP expressions

On the GREP tab of the Find/Change dialog box, you tin can construct GREP expressions to find alphanumeric strings and patterns in long documents or many open documents. Yous tin can enter the GREP metacharacters manually or choose them from the Special Characters For Search list. GREP searches are instance-sensitive past default.

InDesign Secrets provides a list of GREP resources at InDesign GREP.

Choose Edit > Find/Change, and click the GREP tab.

At the lesser of the dialog box, specify the range of your search from the Search carte, and click icons to include locked layers, parent pages, footnotes, and other items in the search.

In the Find What box, do any of the following to construct a GREP expression:

• Enter the search expression manually. (Run across Metacharacters for searching.)

• Click the Special Characters For Search icon to the correct of the Detect What choice and choose options from the Locations, Repeat, Lucifer, Modifiers, and Posix submenus to help construct the search expression.

In the Change To box, blazon or paste the replacement text.

To go on searching, click Find Next, Change (to change the current occurrence), Change All (a bulletin indicates the total number of changes), or Change/Find (to modify the current occurrence and search for the adjacent 1.

You lot can also utilise GREP Styles to apply a grapheme fashion to text that conforms to a GREP expression. In fact, the GREP Styles dialog box is a skilful way to test your GREP expression. Add together the examples y'all want to discover to a paragraph, and and so specify a graphic symbol style and GREP expression in the GREP Styles dialog box. When you turn on Preview, you tin edit the expression until it affects all your examples properly.

Tips for constructing GREP searches

Here are some tips for constructing GREP expressions.

• Many searches under the GREP tab are similar to those under the Text tab, but be aware that you need to insert different codes depending on which tab you're using. In full general, the Text tab metacharacters begin with a ^ (such as ^t for a tab) and GREP tab metacharacters begin with a \ (such as \t for a tab). Notwithstanding, non all metacharacters follow this rule. For case, a paragraph return is ^p in the Text tab and \r in the GREP tab. For a list of the metacharacters used for the Text and GREP tabs, encounter Metacharacters for searching.

• To search for a character that has symbolic meaning in GREP, enter a backslash (\) before the character to indicate that the grapheme that follows is literal. For instance, a period ( . ) searches for whatsoever character in a GREP search; to search for an actual period, enter "\."

• Save the GREP search as a query if y'all intend to run information technology often or share it with someone else. (See Find/change items using queries.)

• Apply parentheses to divide your search into subexpressions. For example, if you want to search for "true cat" or "cot," you can employ the c(a|o)t cord. Parentheses are especially useful to identify groupings. For example, searching for "the (cat) and the (canis familiaris)" identifies "true cat" equally Found Text i and "canis familiaris" as Plant Text ii. You tin can employ the Plant Text expressions (such as $1 for Found Text 1) to change only role of the found text.

GREP search examples

Follow these examples to larn how to take advantage of GREP expressions.

Case one: Finding text within quotation marks

Suppose yous desire to search for any give-and-take enclosed in quotation marks (such as "Spain"), and you desire to remove the quotation marks and apply a style to the word (and then that information technology becomes Spain instead of "Spain"). The expression (")(\west+)(") includes three groupings, as indicated by parentheses ( ). The first and third groupings search for whatsoever quotation mark, and the second grouping searches for one or more word characters.

You lot tin use the Found Text expressions to refer to these groupings. For instance, $0 refers to all found text, and $2 refers to only the second group. By inserting $two in the Modify To field and specifying a graphic symbol style in the Alter Format field, you tin search for a word within quotation marks, and and so replace the discussion with a character mode. Because only $2 is specified, the $1 and $three groupings are removed. (Specifying $0 or $ane$two$3 in the Modify To field would apply the character manner to the quotation marks likewise.)

GREP example

A. Finds all word characters enclosed in quotation marksB. The character mode is practical to the second grouping (the word) while the first and third groupings (open and close quotes) are removedC. Grapheme style specified

This instance searches only for unmarried words enclosed in quotation marks. If you want to search for phrases enclosed in parentheses, add wildcard expressions, such as (\south*.*\w*\d*), which looks for spaces, characters, discussion characters, and digits.

InDesign includes a number of search presets that you tin choose from the Queries menu. For example, you tin can choose the Phone Number Conversion query, which looks like this:

\(?(\d\d\d)\)?[-. ]?(\d\d\d)[-. ]?(\d\d\d\d)

Phone numbers in the United States can appear in a multifariousness of formats, such every bit 206-555-3982, (206) 555-3982, 206.555.3982, and 206 555 3982. This string looks for any of these variations. The first three digits (\d\d\d) of the phone number may or may not be enclosed in parentheses, so a question marker appears after the parentheses: \(? and \)?. Note that the backslash \ indicates that the actual parenthesis is being searched for and that it's not part of a subexpression. The brackets [ ] locate whatsoever grapheme within them, and then in this case, [-. ] finds either a hyphen, a period, or a space. The question marker after the brackets point that the items within it are optional in the search. Finally, the digits are enclosed in parentheses, which signify groupings that can be referred to in the Modify To field.

You can edit the group references in the Alter To field to suit your needs. For case, you lot could use these expressions:

206.555.3982 = $ane.$2.$3

206-555-3982 = $i-$2-$3

(206) 555-3982 = ($1) $2-$3

206 555 3982 = $1 $2 $3

Experiment with the examples in this tabular array to larn more about GREP searches.

Catechumen double-byte character type

Use the Find/Alter dialog box to convert the character type of Asian-language text.

Choose Edit > Detect/Alter.

Click the Transliterate tab.

At the bottom of the dialog box, specify the range from the Search carte, and click icons to determine whether items such as locked layers, parent pages, and footnotes are included in the search.

Specify the character type in Find What.

Specify the replacement character blazon in Alter To. Depending on the graphic symbol type specified in Find What, some options in Change To may be unavailable. For example, if you select full-width hiragana in the Find What field, y'all cannot select full-width roman symbols in the Change To field.

Click the Find Next button, and then click the Change push.

Find and change objects

You can use the Discover/Change control to discover and supercede the attributes and effects applied to objects, graphics frames, and text frames. For example, to give drop shadows a uniform color, transparency, and starting time altitude, you can use the Find/Modify command to search for and supplant drop shadows throughout a certificate.

Choose Edit > Find/Change.

Click the Observe Object Format box, or click the Specify Attributes To Find icon .

On the left side of the Find Object Format Options dialog box, select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and and so click OK.

Brand certain that the categories y'all want to search for are in the appropriate country. You can use one of three states for each Effects category: turned on, turned off, or ignored. For case, setting Drop Shadow to On includes drop shadow formatting in the search; setting Driblet Shadow to Off searches for objects in which drib shadow formatting is turned off; setting Drop Shadow to Ignore leaves drop shadows out of the search.

If you want to apply formatting to the object found, click the Change Object Format box, or click the Specify Attributes To Change icon in the Change Format Settings department. Then select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and click OK.

Click the Find and Modify buttons to format the objects.

Notice and change glyphs

The Glyph department of the Find/Change dialog box is especially useful for replacing glyphs that share the same unicode value with other like glyphs, such as alternate glyphs.

InDesign Secrets provides a clear example well-nigh finding and irresolute glyphs at Finding and Changing Glyphs.

Choose Edit > Observe/Change.

At the bottom of the dialog box, specify a range from the Search card, and click icons to determine whether items such as locked layers, parent pages, and footnotes are included in the search.

Nether Find Glyph, select the Font Family and Font Style in which the glyph is located.

The Font Family unit menu displays only those fonts that are applied to text in the electric current document. Fonts in unused styles practise not appear.

Exercise i of the following to enter the glyph yous want to detect in the Glyph box:

• Click the push beside the Glyph box, then double-click a glyph on the panel. This console works like the Glyphs panel.

• Choose Unicode or GID/CID, and enter the code for the glyph.

You can use other methods to enter the glyph y'all want to discover in the Glyph box. Select a glyph in the document window and cull Load Selected Glyph In Find from the context carte du jour, or select a glyph in the Glyphs console and choose Load Glyph In Discover from the context menu.

Under Change Glyph, enter the replacement glyph past using the aforementioned techniques y'all utilize to enter the glyph you're searching for.

To proceed searching, click Observe Side by side, Change (to modify the nigh recently plant glyph), Change All (a bulletin indicates the total number of changes), or Alter/Notice (to modify the current occurrence and search for the side by side i).

Find and change fonts

Utilise the Find Font control to search for and list the fonts used throughout your certificate. You can then supervene upon whatever fonts (except those in imported graphics) with any other fonts available on your system. You can even replace a font that'south office of a text style. Annotation the following:

• A font name is listed in one case for its employ in the layout and listed each time in imported graphics. For example, if you utilise the same font three times in the layout and iii times in imported graphics, it volition exist listed in the Find Font dialog box iv times—once for all layout instances, and iii more times for each imported graphic. If fonts are not completely embedded in graphics, the font proper noun may not be listed in the Detect Font dialog box.

• Find Font is not available in a Story Editor window.

• The Find Font dialog box displays icons to betoken the kinds of fonts or font atmospheric condition, such as Type one fonts, imported images, TrueType fonts, OpenType fonts, and missing fonts.

• Y'all tin can observe and change composite fonts, merely you cannot change component fonts that are part of composite fonts.

• Apply the Type > Find Font command to help ensure consequent output by analyzing font usage on pages and in imported graphics. To find and alter specific text attributes, characters, or styles, use the Edit > Observe/Change control instead.
