Hi,

The text in my document in the standard BLACK and I want to change to another color.

I have over 30 pages of text in the standar BLACK but the Find/Change tool does not find it. I have made sure nothing is selected.

Thanks

 You need to Find Format - not frame

It's look for a text frame with fill colour

You need to find the text

 

use the Text find or GREP find

If you want to change text color, change the color in Paragraph and Character Styles, not frame colors.

In the Type, you've selected "Text Frames" - it's not the same as "text".

 

Text Frame is a graphic object.
