Find and replace

[Sudha_K]

Hi,

  XML poured document in InDesign, when moving the anchor it creates character like ":". 

I need to replace that character but I could not replace that. Even not able find that character in Indesign application manually.

If anyone knows, pls help me.

Thanks in advance,

Sudha K

@Sudha – I cannot say exactly, but maybe it's the special character <FEFF> for index entries or XML tags (or something else entirely).

You can detect <FEFF> with a TEXT search (not with a GREP search!), just type in

<FEFF>

in your "Find what:" field.

Oh, and what do you mean exactly by: "moving the anchor"?

Hi,

  I have replaced that special characters in document and matching the contents.  Contents in both textframes are same, but its not matching. Don't know why..

Looks like the hidden character U+2063 (INVISIBLE SEPARATOR), which is undocumented but available since ID CS4.

Text search: <2063>

GREP search: \x{2063}
