• What we want to try is to search for text messages and put in Ruby characters.
• and font name, fontstyle, text group..

Can you explain a bit more please and also indicate your InDesign version and OS.

Like Derek, I'm confused about what you are asking. Are you trying to import Text Messages into InDesign and format them there?

Please clarify.

Ruby is a feature of the Japanese version of InDesign. Is that what you're using? Are you a native Japanese speaker? If so, you will get better support in the Japanese InDesign forum here:

We can not apply find text with apply ruby directly. However, We can use the clipboard with find change panel.

Here is a solution,

1. Select words and apply ruby manually.

2. Copy it to the clipboard.

3. find and replace with the styled clipboard. like below.

Other solution, You can use scripts like below.

app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "機能拡張";
var tgt = app.findText();
for (var i=0;i<tgt.length;i++){
  tgt.select();
  tgt.rubyString = "きのうかくちょう";
  tgt.rubyType = 1249011570;
  tgt.rubyFlag= true;
  }

rubyFont, rubySize. rubyFill and other properties also available in textStyleRenge class.

Thanks very much!

I want multiple Exchange or Array?

I'm going to make several changes at once.

It's hard to try a little knowledge.

Please help me one more time.

The find and replace panel doesn't have a feature of multiple replacements.

If you want to replace multiple, You need to make a custom script. Please refer my previous posts code.

It makes a single replacement. However, You can make findWhat and rubyString arrays, replace each pair by a loop.
