Finding and changing text and formatting
Like most popular word-processing software, InDesign lets you search and replace text and
formatting. Often, while graphic designers are working on layouts, the copy is still being
revised. When editors request global changes, Find/Change helps ensure accurate and con-
sistent changes.
