Hi again!

Still working on teaching myself FinaleScript.
I am able to find TextBlocks in the document, search for a spesific font type and size and replace it with another font of another size.
But I can not figure out how to control the other font attributes.

The following script works fine: search font [Times New Roman] size: 12 replace [Palatino Linotype] size: 11

But, if I want to narrow the text search down, let's say to: Times, size 12, bold, underlined - OR specify my goal to Palatino, size 11, italic, strikeout, fixed size - how do I do that?

Hi!
Can see what You're aiming at. That solution only changes the default font, if I am not missing something here.
I have used several fonts and several font attributes with TextBlpcks in my Layout.
I need to search for the actual font and replace it. That can easily be done the way I described, but the Finale help menu doesen't describe very well how to put font attributes into the script.

Anyone out there who knows how to make it work?
