I know how to replace a paragraph style with another using Find and Replace. But the latter does not include replacing a character style with another.
Specifically, I want to replace the German names for the styles that Robert uses in the Base Handbook with the English equivalents for the the translations I am doing. Finding all of the German character styles in a chapter gets to be tedious to say the least. Selecting each phrase and double clicking the replacement style is also.
Any ideas?

I have used that extension in the past, but it hasn’t worked for character
styles for me for several years. That could be a macOS problem, I suppose;
I haven’t tested it on other o/s.
