    I am trying to style the ingredients list in a cookbook using a data merge. I have a standard .CSV file with embedded tag <tab> that I will do a find and replace with tab stops. I need the measurements to the left of the tab to import as Avenir Heavy and the ingredient/items to import as Avenir Book. I currently have a single style called “ingredients” which is using Avenir Book. Any ideas how to get this to work? Is there a find/replace technique to chance the measurements font using tags?

    6 tablespoons<tab>onion, chopped
    1/4 pound<tab>butter
    2 cups<tab>fresh basil

    UPDATE: I am using Filemaker Pro to store the recipes and I can set the ingredients to export with a wildcard character like:

    *6 tablespoons*<tab>onion, chopped
    *1/4 pound*<tab>butter
    *2 cups*<tab>fresh basil

    Is there a way the find/replace between the wildcards “*” to change the measurements font from Avenir Book to Avenir Heavy?
