Hi there!
I love FindChangeByList possibilities but I am not able to modify the basic script to work as I need.
If I select one or several Text Frames on a page and run the FindChangeByList script, it will find/change texts in the whole document. This kind of operation often ends with many unintended changes.
I was able to modify the script to work on exactly one selected Text Frame, but I am not able to modify the script to work on one or more selected Text Frames and leave other texts in the document untouched.
Is there any modification of the FindChangeByList script so it finds and changes the text of all the stories in selected text frames only (but including overset texts)? And how to optionally apply an Object Style to all that selected Text Frames after find/change operation?
