    Wondered if anybody could help me with an issue I am currently having with InDesign.

    I normally work within Illustrator, but I am currently producing single colour leaflets that InDesign is best suited for. I am a newbie to InDesign, but know my way around the program.

    What I am trying to achieve is the following:-

    When I copy text within my document, I need to ensure that no EmDashes have any spacing either side, but do have 100 kerning. This needs to be consistant throughout the document. I have looked at the 'Find & Replace' tool, but I am not 100% certain I am using the full potential.

    Many thanks

    You can solve this in two steps:

    1. Create a character style with just the kerning set at 100.

    2. Do the find and replace. In the “Find what” type in “^w^_^w” (Without the quotation marks. This will select all em dashes with any kind of white space before and after). In the Change to: type in “^_“ . In the Change format, select the character style you just created. Click “Change all” and you're done!
