Indesign "cannot find match", then asks to replace style

Question

When searching a document for a specific paragraph style, I get the dialog box "cannot find match". Then, when deleting the style, the "delete style xx and replace with" dialog box pops up. Hoping that someone knows what this is about 🙂

Hi @reddhare ,could be that other styles are based on the one you like to remove. Regards,Uwe Laubender( Adobe Community Expert )

Hi @reddhare ,look into a script by Kasyan Servetsky, that is able to write nearly every property value of a paragraph style to a csv file that you can import to an Excel style sheet. The "based on" property column will show you an overview what paragraph style is based on another one for a given document. Export paragraph style description settingsScript for InDesign CS3–CC 2014 [*] . Version 4.0@Kasyan Servetsky http://kasyan.ho.ua/indesign/export/export_styles_description_settings_to_csv.html [*] Note: Recently I used that script successfully with InDesign 2023 on Windows 10.
