      Hi!

      I’m working on edits to a book with hundreds of plant species listings. Each one has a set of icons associated with it (the icons are all placed as images now, not live vector shapes). Each listing gives me which icons to include – Example [Insert icons for: Full Sun, Part sun, Attracts butterflies, Suitable for Cut Flowers or Arrangements, Good for containers].

      Is there a way to use find and change to replace the words “Full Sun,” with its dedicated icon? I was thinking I could make each icon a letter in a font, but I don’t really know how to do that!

      Thanks in advance for your help.

      There are several ways… see:

      Find Text, Change to Graphic


      and

      Swapping Text and Images with a Free Script


      and

      Replace text with image, where text = image name?
