      Hi I’ve read these forums extensively and learned quite a few tricks over the years but never posted, hoping the gurus on this site have an answer for this puzzle:

      I have a large product catalog that’s just about complete, it is built from a stack .indd files merged into an .indb file. I am now noticing that one of the fonts in the footer found on about 85% of the 300+ pages has a missing character due to a font that didn’t survive the jump from some old quark pages (Q2ID). I know that I can find and replace content across all the pages, but can’t find a way to make the “find font” function handle more than any single document at a time.

      Am I out of luck, or missing something?

      Thanks in advance,
      Jon

      The normal find and replace can deal with font replacements (in the lower half of the dialog box), and across all open files.

      Would that work?

      Yes as Chris says use Find and replace, it is very powerful and one of my favourite tools in Indesign.

      There’s also a script here, but I’m not sure if it will do what you need: https://creativepro.com/topic/replace-fonts-in-all-documents-in-a-book
