Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite address my problem. Unless I'm missing something, the method you suggest copies all the character attributes, not just the tag name.
I am trying set an "Em Dash" character tag with no text attributes, just the tag name. When I get translated Chinese files back from our translators, I have to change the client's Western fonts to the appropriate double-byte font. Sometimes, Frame misinterprets the em dash as the first half of a double-byte character and that messes up the subsequent text. In order to make the em dash display properly, I have to apply the original western font to that character. The goal is to apply this tag prior to translation, so I can then run a simple search/replace on the translated files to find and fix these issues. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Sullivan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 5:47 PM To: Alison Carrico Subject: RE: Plugin for enhanced find/change operations? Here you go... Apply the character tag to text, and select the formatted text. Use the Edit/Copy Special/Character Format command to copy the character tag to the clipboard. Do your Find/Change with Change By Pasting selected. The character tag will paste over the top of the text without replacing it. -Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training, Inc.

Does anyone know of a plugin, script or workaround that will allow me to find/change text & character tags in one operation? I would like to apply a character tag to a particular character that is used in paragraphs of several different styles without changing the rest of the attributes. As far as I can tell, Frame only lets me change character attributes, not tags. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as matt at grafixtraining.com.
