Hi, I have text like that:

 

@8994050 Je v textu článku slovo příbuzné se slovem čeština?

 

It is one paragraph always starting by red word @8994050This paragraph can be of different lengths, but has a clear beginning (@8994050) and end (enter). It is used several times throughout the text I received for typesetting.

The bold word čeština in this paragraph has another character style (bold with green color) than other bold words in whole text (black bold).

Is there any way to find these words automatically?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Does this text always appear in the same paragraph style? If so you could make a new paragaph style based on that style with no changes, then search for “@ikona” in Paragraph Style A and replace with nothing (which will leave the found text intact) in Paragraph Style B. Now search for any text in Paragraph Style B using the Character Style you are searching for.

 

Later you can delete Paragraph Style B and replace with Paragraph Style A.
