Why not create a variable for the name, format it the way you want and then do a S/R for the text and replace it with the variable.
That way, when they change the name of the product or the formatting of the name, you change the definition of the variable and you're done. sharon Sharon Burton MadCap Software Product Consultant Managing your content, one topic at a time www.anthrobytes.com 951-369-8590 IM: [email protected] Twitter: sharonburton -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Avraham Makeler Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 8:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Find <text> Apply <tag> Hi all, I need a simple Find-Replace operation, which I thought I asked about once before ... but not quite. I now need to look for all instances of the company's name, e.g., Acme, and apply a character style to it. And if I am already asking, how would I apply italics to the text, instead of applying a character style? I have looked at a number of articles about doing Find-Replace with tags but they all seem to discuss how to change one tag to another, or how to change local formatting to a tag, and not how to look for text and apply to it a tag or formatting. I saw somebody recommended Rick Quattro's Find-Replace plug-in. I couldn't find it. Does anybody have a link to this?
