I'm writing some scripts to format a cookbook in Adobe Garamond Pro. That font has the handy ability to show things like "1/4" as a true fraction. I can, using manual Find/Change, apply this feature.

However, change preference doesn't seem to have a property for turning on OpenType features as they are done in Find/Change.

Should I be using Change? Maybe there is an easier method that I haven't thought of yet. Suggestions are most welcome.

[Actually, the next thing I'll be needing for this cookbook project is a script to apply a character style to any parenthetical that is formatted in a particular paragraph style. When this cookbook was done in PageMaker, I had a script that would search for open parentheses and apply the formatting, then step forward one word at a time, applying the formatting, until a close paren was discovered. It was slow and ineffecient, but it worked. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do that in the somewhat-more-versatile InDesign scripting?]
