I already restored my preferences. It does not help, I cant search/replace colors because indesign doesnt find them regardless what I do. Some colors wont get found, some I can search and replace and get some wired answer like "8 instances found and replaced" but the replacement does not occur.

It used to work and I dont know why this does not work anymore.

Test file attached. I cant find White1 and White2 even if it is clearly there and the top marker color is there but search/replace finds it but does not replace it.

Hi @Lordrhavin ,

can you also show some screenshots of your Find/Replace panel so that we can see what exactly is going on?

Thanks,

Hallo @Lordrhavin ,

auf Windows kann ich's im Moment nicht testen. Beim mir auf dem Mac sieht's so aus, wenn ich "Alles ändern" drücke:

Und wenn Du nacheinander durchgehst mit "Ersetzen/Suchen", funktioniert's dann?

Könnte natürlich ein Bug im deutschen InDesign für Windows sein…

Gruss,

Hi @Lordrhavin ,

thank you for the attached InDesign document.

When I search for swatch "White1" I can find it 10 times in the document.

What color is it you like to replace it with?

I tested find/replace with my German InDesign 2023 version 18.5.0 on macOS 12.6.8.

It worked as expected.

What is your exact version of InDesign?

What is the version of your operating system?
