Re: Can Frame's default color definitions be changed? - a solution

2012-10-17 Thread Carol J. Elkins 
Rebecca, you are brilliant! I had assumed that because the imported 
colors were overrides to the paratag, I wouldn't be able to do 
anything to them. It didn't even occur to me that I could search for 
them. I was looking for a much harder solution. Thanks so much for the push.

The Find Character Format dialog opens and should have everything 
set to As Is. Change the colour to Green and click Set.
Then select Change  To Character Format, make sure everything is 
set to As Is, select the new colour, and click Set.
Then click the Change All button. All instances of Green will 
magically change to your new colour.

Hi Carol
 
You can use FM's Find/Change for this. 
 
First, back up your document. 
 
Then, in your document:
Define your new colour. 
Then click outside the text frame on any page, so you don't have a cursor in 
any text.
Then open Find/Change dialog and select Find Character Format.
The Find Character Format dialog opens and should have everything set to As Is. 
Change the colour to Green and click Set.
Then select Change  To Character Format, make sure everything is set to As Is, 
select the new colour, and click Set. 
Then click the Change All button. All instances of Green will magically change 
to your new colour.
 
As long as everything is As Is apart from the colour, this'll leave all other 
formatting alone. If everything isn't set to As Is, it'll screw up other 
formatting. Back up first!
 
Cheers
Rebecca

Nope, defining my own colors isn't an option in this case. Working in 
Frame9, I'm importing (not by reference but by creating a copy) an 
Excel file containing Excel's red strikeout and green colors to 
distinguish new and deleted text, so all resulting text is formatted 
as an override to Frame's Body tag. Tagging changed/deleted text in 
hundreds of pages of table rows isn't an option either, so I can't 
use a custom color definition. As Rick pointed out, it looks like 
Frame won't budge on its idea of what green is. Thanks everyone for 
your help.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but won't merely defining the
