GREP Run in Object Style Frames 1.3

GREP Run in Object Style Frames 1.3

Consider getting the GREP MEGAPACK instead!

Run GREP queries selectively to text frames by object style

This script allows InDesign users to apply GREP find and change operations selectively to text frames based on their assigned object styles, rather than processing the entire document. It provides a user-friendly interface where you can specify which object styles to target and which GREP queries to apply to frames with those styles.

This targeted approach saves time and reduces the risk of unintended changes to text that shouldn't be modified, making it an essential tool for complex document processing workflows where precision and control are important. It's particularly useful after data merge operations when you need to clean up or format specific elements without affecting the entire document.

New in 1.3

• Streamlined, refactored release with a restructured Help window.
• Added Include Parent Pages — also process matching text frames on parent (master) pages.
• Added Preview Results — a dry pass that counts matches without changing anything.
• User documentation (PDF).
