You can find and change text, objects, and glyphs by using or constructing a query. A query is a defined find-and-change operation. InDesign offers several preset queries for changing punctuation formats and other useful actions, such as changing telephone number formats. By saving a query you constructed, you can run it again and share it with others.
Save a query in the Find/Change dialog box if you want to run it again or share it with others. The names of queries you save appear in the Query list in the Find/Change dialog box.
If you use the name of an existing query, you are asked to replace it. Click Yes if you want to update the existing query.
Customized queries are stored as XML files. The names of customized queries appear in the Query list in the Find/Change dialog box.
