      Please, i changed all 11 points and 12 points font sizes to 13.2 points, because i needed different font size than in document where i copied objects (had 13 points).
      Now i have all done, but need change all 13,2 point texts to 13 points, but find/replace cant find 13.2 points text. It finds only integer values.
      Is some script or way to replace all 13.2 points texts to 13 points?
      Thank you very much.

      In fact, for me, with InDesign CS6 on OS X, the Find/change allows you to enter a decimal point size in both the Find Format and in the Change Format options.
      You just click in the box and type it in (don’t use the drop-down/pop-up menu).
      This applies to both the normal Text find and the GREP find.

      When i select some objects and change size to 13.2, find/replace finds it, but somewhere i have read, that font size is written rounded, it can be after resizing 13.20125487, but size shown is 13.2 and find/replace will not find 13.2 sizes. Anyway thanks, i can clean up font sizes by selecting objects, my document is not very big (calendar with names).

      Yes, that is possible. If the font size is 13.201, then find/change will not find it if you look for 13.2. Unfortunately there is no easy way around this.

      While InDesign’s Find/Change dialog does let you enter a decimal value, I could not get it to find a decimal value. For example, I had numerous text boxes with the text size 14.255 pt (after I had resized them all), and the Find Format input area would not find any text. I would find text at the integer 14 pt, but not 14.255 pt text.
