    Thanks!
    I figured I was out of luck, but you never know. I think I will make an empty character style, then apply it to the GREP style for the characters (regardless of location) and run a manual check on all the occurrences to verify they don’t start a line. Still a process, but it shouldn’t take less than a day. I guess I’ll start on that script in the offseason, too.

    I abandoned the Japanese Paragraph Composer a few versions ago, but maybe it’s time to revisit.

    The GREP in the first post is actually meant to be the Japanese characters separated by pipes, and not a bunch of question marks.

    If it's a swatch that's in a placed image, an easy way to find it is to right-click the InDesign file in Bridge, “Show Linked Files”, and look at the metadata in each link for the offending swatch. You can also filter the list by File Type.

    The next/previous page marker works if the two frames are linked together on the master. Helpful to know if you're ever working on a book with both page numbers on one page “002-003”.

    Make a text box on each of the facing pages and link them together. On the left hand side, put the current page number, then a frame break, then the previous page number marker in the box on the right hand page. If you don't want exclusively even-numbered pages, you would then have to number your spreads by hand in the pages panel, and that's probably pretty easy with a script. You'd also need to turn off spread and page shuffling in the pages panel.

    What about converting the watermark on the master page into a button?

    Then, on export, you can specify Interactive Elements->”Do not include” when you export for print, and ->”include appearance” on the pdfs that require it.

    In the type menu -> Bullets and Numbering -> Convert Numbering (or bullets) to Text.

    If you set up a specific character style for your numbers, you may need to adjust the baseline shift.

    FEFF is the culprit, all right. I never would have thought to use regular Find Text to search for it, but it works like a charm. Thanks!
