Tex t Search for and change specific occurrences of characters, words, groups of words, or text formatted a certain way.
You can also search for and replace special characters such as symbols, markers, and white space characters. Wildcard
options help to broaden your search.
GREP Use advanced, pattern-based search techniques to search for and replace text and formatting.
Glyph Search for and replace glyphs using Unicode or GID/CID values, especially useful to search for and replace
glyphs in Asian languages.
Object Search for and replace formatting effects and attributes in objects and frames. For example, you can find objects
with a 4-pt stroke and replace the stroke with a drop shadow.
Transliterate You can also convert the character type of Asian-language text. For example, you can search for half-
width katakana and replace it with full-width katakana in Japanese text.

Find and change text

the Find/Change command.
