Put the cursor in some text formatted with the character tag you want to apply. Select Edit > Copy Special > Character Format to put that formatting on the clipboard. Then, select Edit > Find/Change. Set Find to the string you want to format and set Change to By Pasting. Note that you'll be applying all the formatting that was at the cursor location when you did the Copy Special, not just the character tag. So this works fine if you copy the formatting from a piece of body text and paste to other pieces of body text. It works not so well going to or from headings, table text in a different font, etc. I suggest not rushing to Change All. :-) HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
