Hi all,
Looks like the previous guy on my docs applied local formatting to
hyperlinks to color them blue and underline them.
What's worse, their often doesn't match the surroundinging text.
How can I find all text that is blue (and optionally underlined) and delete
it and apply a Character
Corrections:
1. their should be there
2. I need to also remove locally applied fonts so that the font becoems that
of the underlying paragraph formatting.

Create your character style.
Apply it to a word, then select it and Copy Special Character Format.
In the Find window, specify Character format Blue and Underline.
Replace by Pasting.
There are also a couple of plugins that identify format over-rides,
which may be useful.

No easy automatic way. You can use a borderless 1-celled table with
shading; or you can insert a filled anchored frame with a text frame
inside it; or you can draw a filled

into a long list of files with similar names.

Hi, John:
If these links worked in the past, what changed that could cause them
to fail? Did you move or rename a directory, or files? Change
computers? Take the files from a server to a local drive, or
vice-versa?
Or, could it be the snow?G

John,
Unless you have a backup of the book and associated files that are unchanged,
then the MIF method may be the easiest way to go.
If you had renamed the chapters from the book the cross-references would have
been automatically recreated and it would have saved you all of this work.

John,
I guess I should have read the entire mail string.
If you know what the original file names were, from Windows Explorer rename
them back and then try the procedure below.
I would recommend that you let your helper know that if the chapters are to
be renamed, rename them from within
Does anyone find discretionary hyphens as useless as I do? It appears that
they only work if hyphenation is turned on in the paragraph style, but if
the paragraph already hyphenates itself, there is little need for them.
I turn hyphenation off because I prefer not to have hyphenated paragraphs.
John,
Before your helper renamed all the FM files, did you or he/she happen to
make a backup? Seens to me that it would be easier to revert to the backup
than go through all this hunting and fixing.
Just a thought.

That puts it on the clipboard.
When you do the Find-and-Replace, you Replace by pasting from the

In Annoyance 3, do you mean select the document or select the paragraph?

This would be a nice item to place on a the Adobe wish list. They should
be ordered alphabetically or by the way they are listed in the book.
Anything is better than a random order. The same with the paragraphs in
the list on the right.
