I’m working on a second edition of a workbook originally published in 2019, where almost every style on the new mockup has changed: font, font size, leading, colour, frame thickness, symbols, etc. The template for the workbook is new, the old pages are saved individually in a library, then dropped into the new template, and finally the fonts and the styles are updated. When I select something for the first time I erase the old style and replace it with the new, leaving only a few adjustments to do. Except for the chapter I’m working on (the 8th one), which crashes as soon as I try to replace a style, whether caracter, paragraph or object. I spent 2 days trying to fix this, but nothing worked, so I am doing all those updates manually, question by question, object by object, page by page.
Find and Replace works on one instance at a time, not finding anything if I click Change All. Trying to modify the old styles directly to match the new ones also causes a crash, so does trying to clean the Swatch palette. Opening an idml format of the file does not fix the problem either, nor getting rid of the Preferences.
Has anybody ever come across a similar problem? I checked the other chapters, global style replacement works fine (including Find and Replace), so it must be the file itself that is damaged. Any idea how I could fix this?
