RE: Find/Change

[Thomas Neuburger <thomasn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Good advice from Deborah.

You might want to Save the file first, especially if
you're contemplating a Change All.

Also, remember to set some Character properties to As Is
if you want to allow for variation (i.e., if you want to
apply the change to some text that's Italic and some that's
not).

Best,

Tom Neuburger
