If I'm reading your message right, you should be choosing "Character
Tag:" in the Find dialog, rather than a "Character Format." The former
searches for text with the assigned character style. The latter finds
text with specific attributes, which may or may not have been assigned a
character style.

I want to remove rogue character formats and replace them with correct
ones. I've used Character Tools to generate a list of formats by file
so I know which ones are in each document of my book. I choose
"Character Format..." in the Find/Change palette, type the character
format name in the entry field, check the "Consider Case" checkbox,
check the "Document" radio button to check only the open document, and
click "Find."
Usually, the "Find Character Format" dialog appears. I can't possibly
remember all the properties I assigned to every format I created, and
certainly wouldn't know the properties of a rogue or legacy style that
I didn't create. I just want to find the format by the name assigned
to it. Shouldn't those names appear in the scrollable entry field of
the Find/Change palette, the same way paragraph styles do? (Not even
default character styles show up.) Must I generate a long CT report on
all styles to get the properties to complete this dialog?
If I close this dialog and try again, a "Specify the character format
to find" alert appears.
My documents have only an A flow. I doubt the character format I'm
looking for would be on a master page. Even if a style or two were in
an unanchored box, for example, that doesn't explain all styles not
being available or found.
I'm sure this is a case of user error. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Karen
