On the left side of the Find Object Format Options dialog box, select a type of formatting, specify the format
attributes, and then click OK.
Make sure that the categories you want to search for are in the appropriate state. You can use one of three states for
each Effects category: turned on, turned off, or ignored. For example, setting Drop Shadow to On includes drop
shadow formatting in the search; setting Drop Shadow to Off searches for objects in which drop shadow formatting
is turned off; setting Drop Shadow to Ignore leaves drop shadows out of the search.

If you want to apply formatting to the object found, click the Change Object 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
Click the Find and Change buttons to format the objects.
Find and change glyphs
The Glyph section of the Find/Change dialog box is especially useful for replacing glyphs that share the same unicode
value with other similar glyphs, such as alternate glyphs.
InDesign Secrets provides a clear example about finding and changing glyphs at
1
Choose Edit > Find/Change.
2
At the bottom of the dialog box, specify a range from the Search menu, and click icons to determine whether items
such as locked layers, master pages, and footnotes are included in the search.
3
Under Find Glyph, select the Font Family and Font Style in which the glyph is located.
The Font Family menu displays only those fonts that are applied to text in the current document. Fonts in unused
styles do not appear.
4
Do one of the following to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box:
• Click the button beside the Glyph box, and then double-click a glyph on the panel. This panel works like the
Glyphs panel.
• Choose Unicode or GID/CID, and enter the code for the glyph.
You can use other methods to enter the glyph you want to find in the Glyph box. Select a glyph in the document
window and choose Load Selected Glyph In Find from the context menu, or select a glyph in the Glyphs panel and
choose Load Glyph In Find from the context menu.
5
Under Change Glyph, enter the replacement glyph by using the same techniques you use to enter the glyph you’re
searching for.
6
Click Find.
7
To continue searching, click Find Next, Change (to change the most recently found glyph), Change All (a message
indicates the total number of changes), or Change/Find (to change the current occurrence and search for the next
one).
8
The Find/Change dialog in InDesign has two search direction buttons - Forward and Backward. As search Forward
is enabled by default, you can switch to Backward to reverse the flow of the search. The new functionality helps you
search strings in Text, GREP, and Glyph tabs.

Click Done.
