Searching for lines
I have a document that has a number of lines drawn with the line tool. Now I want to search for the lines so I can edit some of them. Can that be done?

Hi @m5heath ,
what can be done is to select the graphic lines spread by spread using a script that comes with all versions of InDesign:
SelectObject.jsx

However, the original script's UI comes with all options selected by default.
One could change that with a little editing of the code where it says checkedState==true.
Simply exchange true with false so that the option is not selected by default.
Example for the Ellipsis check box:
// Original code:
if(myEllipsesCheckbox.checkedState==true){
myObjectTypes.push("ovals");
// Edited code:
if(myEllipsesCheckbox.checkedState==false){
myObjectTypes.push("ovals");
