Hi Richard, Thanks for the recommendation. FWIW, duplicating this script in ExtendScript would be a large undertaking. The FrameScript version is over 1700 lines and has gone through quite a few iterations over the years. Just think about what it takes to find/change a character format. You not only have to look for occurrences in text, but also in autonumber formats, variable formats, and cross-reference formats. Colors are complicated as well because they show up in many different places in a document.
It is such a useful script that I will probably end up duplicating it in ExtendScript one of these days. But if someone wanted it tomorrow, it would certainly be more expensive than the FrameScript version! Thanks again. Rick I'm a very satisfied customer of both Silicon Prairie and Rick, and happy to recommend both. But John said that he's "in a super-locked down environment and to install anything takes an act of god." Unless I'm misunderstanding his statement, that rules out any plugins (including FrameScript, thus ruling out FS scripts). John, since you have FM 11, I think your only non-manual alternative is ExtendScript. I suspect Rick could whip up an ExtendScript script that suits your needs for a reasonable fee -- assuming you can at least install a script (non-executable) in your environment. Richard G.
