    How do I search all-caps (longer than two letters) words in a text?

    Hi Bilaha,
    you can use GREP to search two or more capital letters with this string:
    \u\u+

    or
    \u{2,}

    if you want to search only single words, you can surround the previous string with , like this:
    \u{2,}

    let’s try

    … Hmm!

    So, could you tell us why, in the same sentence, your last Grep code can catch “CLAUDIO” and not “MARCONATO”?

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Best,

    Did you check that MARCONATO is not in small letters and only looks like capital letters because of a character style?

    Michel, it doesn’t happen to me, it works like a charme!
