Re: How can I search for bold text and change it to a character style?
(Sorry if this is 2 days after the question, but I've been on vacation.) You can also get Rick Quattro's Find/Change Special plugin, which can search for a character style and replace it with another character style (amongst other things).

Note that the Copy Special is Character *Format* rather than Character *Style*, and that's actually an important distinction. When you use Copy Special, FrameMaker copies all of the current selections font format characteristics, including the explicit font and size settings as well as the character tag that you really want to propagate. If you copy the format from a chunk of body text (for example, 11 pt TNR bold with the Bold character tag applied) and then paste onto a selection in a heading (say 14 pt Helvetica non-bold), you will get a chunk of 11 pt TNR in the middle of that heading. -Fred Ridder ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Create a character style with the correct attributes. Apply it to something. Copy Special > Character Style. Find, specifying the bold text, and replace by pasting.
