I am working in Indesign CC 2019 on a document that will not show "selection" when perfoming find/change.

It only show document as the option to search. How do I restore all the options (selection, story, etc.).  ??  Mike

      In Find/Change, the Selection option only appears when you have made a selection in text. It's working in InDesign CC 2019 for me as you can see in this screen capture:

      If it's not working, you might try restoring InDesign preferences:

      Thanks Steve.

      I think I tried that but certainly will when I get back to work Monday; maybe I didn't! On a deadline.

      How do I restore the Indesign Preferences if I need to?
