Although I am happy to recommend other tools, I should point out that my script ($80 and requires FrameScript) handles a lot of format types at once. Here are the instructions from the script: /* This script changes cross-references, paragraphs, tables, user variables, characters, etc. from one format to another. You can optionally delete the old format from the document's catalog. The script requires a batch file containing four columns. Column 1 lists the type of format to find: X for cross-reference P for paragraph T for table V for variable C for character format CO for condition format MP for master page M for marker type CL for color Column 2 lists the format to find, column 3 lists the format to change to, and column 4 contains a Y if you want to delete the old format from the document's catalog. If the format in column 3 does not exist in the document, the find format will be renamed to the change format. The enclosed FindChangeFormatBatch.fm can be used as a batch file. To simply delete a format from the catalog, put its format type in column one, its name in column 2, and a Y in column 4. Leave column 3 blank. Format names are case-sensitive. The script can be run on a single document, book, or folder (and subfolders). The results of the script are recorded in a log which is saved in the same folder as the book, document, or folder. It will have the same name as the book or document, but with a .log extension. If you run it on a folder, the log will be in that folder and be called FindChangeFormatsBatch.log.
