I am on a PC if that makes a difference to you.
Uh, yup, that counts me out [grin]
Roberto sounds like he has a handle on it, but I'll give some insights:
1) The numbers are easy; you can do a find and replace using "^9" in the "Find" box. What you can do is apply a character style -- like "Numbers" if you want to be creative -- so you can tweek the size after the fact.
B) Fixing acronyms is more tougher. The only way I've been able to figure out how to do this is to check the second letter of every word and see if its ascii number is >64 and <92, then apply a character style to the whole word. (If you have wierd-caps words like GOBsmack you'll have to be a bit more creative.)
Good luck!
