The same thing is true of spell-checking text insets. Workaround: build an Ur-book that contains all your insets, and search/spell-check in that. -- Steve ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

RE: Searching in text insets
Supposed to be could be argued, but it certainly is the way things *are*. Text insets are treated as black boxes by the Find/Change operation. You can search for them as a type of object, but you cannot search for text strings within those referenced objects from the containing document. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.
