      This may sound weird but i cannot figure it out. I have an InDesign doc with paragraphs that have space before applied as an override:

      I would like to find those paragraphs and change them to a style with a space before defined.
      I tried to search for those paragraphs leaving everything empty except the value of the space before (in this case 5,292 mm) but InDesign can’t find anything:

      I have tried including the name of the style, doing it in the GREP tab… no luck.

      Is there any way to find those paragraphs?

      Thanks in advance.

      Hi Alberto.
      It is a rounding value issue.
      Your paragraph probably have a 5.2916666666666… space before which is why Find/replace can’t find it.

      5.29166… = 15 points

      So you can either:
      – type directly 15pt in the F/R field. Indd will calculate and turn the results into mm
      – or change units to points in your preferences.

      Hope that helps
      Vinny
