USING INCOPY CS4 112 Text 4 On the left side of the Find Format Settings dialog box, select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and then click OK. Some OpenType formatting options appear in both the OpenType Options and Basic Character Formats (Position menu) sections. For information on OpenType and other formatting attributes, search for the related topic in InCopy Help. Note: To search for (or replace with) formatting only, leave the Find What or Change To box blank. 5 If you want to apply formatting to the text found, click the Change Format box, or click the Specify Attributes To Change icon in the Change Format Settings section. Then select a type of formatting, specify the format attributes, and click OK. 6 Use the Find and Change buttons to format the text. If you specify formatting for your search criteria, info icons appear above the Find What or Change To boxes. These icons indicate that formatting attributes have been set and that the find or change operation will be restricted accordingly. To quickly remove all formatting attributes in the Find Format Settings or Change Format Settings sections, click the Clear button. Common Find/Change techniques Wildcard searches Specify wildcards, such as Any Digit or Any White Space, to broaden your search. For example, typing "s^?ng" in the Find What box searches for words beginning with an "s" and ending with "ng," such as "sing," "sang," "song," and "sung." You can either type wildcard characters or choose an option from the Wildcards submenu in the pop-up menu next to the Find What text field. Clipboard for metacharacter searches To search for metacharacters such as em dashes or bullet characters, you may want to select the text first and paste it into the Find What box to spare the trouble of entering metacharacters. InCopy automatically converts pasted special characters to their metacharacter equivalent. Replace with clipboard contents You can replace search items with either formatted or unformatted content copied to the clipboard. You can even replace text with a graphic you copied. Simply copy the item, and then, in the Find/Change dialog box, choose an option from the Other submenu from the pop-up menu to the right of the Change To box. Find and remove unwanted text To remove unwanted text, define the text you want to remove in the Find What box and leave the Change To box empty (make sure that no formatting is set in this box). XML tagging You can apply XML tags to text you search for. Notes on finding and changing text in InCopy • If the Track Changes command is turned on when you are changing or replacing text, all added and deleted text is tracked. • All finding and changing procedures work essentially the same way in Galley, Story, and Layout views, whether you work with a linked or stand-alone story. If you work with a linked story, you're limited to character and paragraph styles defined in InDesign. When you work in Galley or Story view, you cannot see all of the typographical effects you apply. You can see these effects only in Layout view. • In Galley view or Story view, the Find/Change command omits all collapsed stories. However, if you choose Change All, collapsed stories are affected. For best results, use Find/Change in Layout View. • The Include Note Content in Find/Change Operations in Notes preferences determines whether notes are searched. If this option is selected, you can use the Find/Change command to search notes in Galley and Story views, not in Layout view. Closed notes and footnotes are omitted from the search.
