For example, find all ‘Jane’ and format them in Italic.
You enter “Jane” in the Search field, then click Find all
- that will select all occurrences of “Jane” - then close the dialog box. Don’t click in the text, that will cancel the selection. Press Ctrl+I
or select a character style for italics, and you’re done.
A comment about @anon87010807’s answer: prefer character styles in preparation for future maintenance operations. It is much better to have semantic markup on your text. This will give you a nice selective access for formatting tuning. In the example you give, create a character style with name Name before doing the operation. Give it italic property. If you apply it over all names in your text, names appearance can be changed by modifying the character style without further need to Find& Replace them.
