    well obviously you'll want to update this system to use symbols so you'll never have this headache again ;)

    the only way you'll be able to do this is via scripting, but to act on objects you need to be able to select them consistently from doc to doc, meaning they have to all be in the same position in the stacking order, or have some unique graphic style so they can be selected.

    at the very worst, you could write a script that basically swaps selected items for your new symbol, so you'd then have to go thru every doc and select the thing you want to replace, but the rest would be automated.

    • making it a symbol may work, but it might be a pain to have to expand it every time you want to update text in the client info fieldsspifflink
