hello and thank you so much for your reply. I did what you suggest and indeed the bold does come up and no other attributes such as font or size. Likewise, when I put the cursor in to an italic based paragraph style, nothing comes up. So I guess this is right?

We have been watching the Instant Indesign movie about preparing files for an ebook and, if I am understanding it right (which I am clearly not), we have to make sure that everything we have as a paragraph style (like drop caps and first five words capitalized etc) is also a character style, then find and change. before exporting the text for digital. We tried this with the italic sections of the book but clearly we lost all the other formatting (indent, space above etc) so that was a complete mess! I realize you are probably far to busy to explain this, but if any other misunderstandings are screaming out at you please feel free to correct me here…

Thanks so much, You guys are GREAT!
