It is a long story with lots of problems but I have a down and dirty training manual that was created in Word using some features that when brought into InDesign translated to the automatic numbering and bulleting. It is a long doc (56+ pages) and the most expedient way to format the copy was 'find and change' fonts throughout instead of using style sheets.

I never use the auto numbering/bulleting feature in InDesign so was unfamiliar with how it worked. I ended up eliminating the feature by converting them to text so that I could do a find/change. Ended up being very tedious. The project was doomed from the start but is now off to the printer.

Many, many thanks to StewB for pointing out the 'convert to text' buried within the Type menu. Wish there was a keyboard shortcut for it!

Thank you Eugene but here is the challenge. The applied bullets in InDesgin does not seem to generate an actual character so it would mean going through every instance and adding a bullet. These bullets run though 58 pages (and counting) of this doc.

Does anyone know if there is a way to search for these intangible bullets so I could replace with something that is more controllable?

The better question is probably what affects the appearance of these 'bullets'? All of the attributes (point size, font, etc.) are identical but the end product appears to be smaller.
