Can you use Find/Change to search for many different words at once?

I have an 80 page catalogue in Indesign (CS5) - it has several thousands of catalogue numbers listed as text within it. I've just been given a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for and if they appear, remove them - is there any way to search for them all in one go, rather than one by one?
I've started using Find/Change to search for the catalogue numbers but seem to only be able to search one catalogue number at a time that way.
Any ideas welcome!
Thanks

GREP can search for more than one phrase "at once" (i.e., in one operation), like this:
word1|word2|word3
-- the pipe | delimits the separate words. Then again, GREP Is Not Magic™. This --
...  a list of 1000 catalogue numbers to search for ...
is a bit too much to copy-and-paste into the single Find What line. There is a limit of ten or twelve (or something) OR phrases you can use in GREP.
On the other hand: GREP is great at finding numbers. If all of your catalogue numbers obey some basic rule, for instance "all of them consist of 6 digits and there are no other numbers with exactly 6 digits", well, that we can probably work with.

  • HT204053 Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices ?

    I have an MacPro and I am buying an iPad.  Can you use the same Apple ID for two devices or should I create an new AppleID for the ipad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The Apple ID purpose is to have the same data in all your devices and share your purchases among all your devices, so you can use your Apple ID in both devices

  • HT4759 can you use the same apple id for two phones on the cloud?

    can you use the same apple id for two phones on the same verizon account and if so can you keep there contacts etc. separate?

    If you want to keep your contacts and other data you sync with iCloud separate, you'll have to create separate iCloud accounts, which will require different IDs.  If you share the same iCloud account/ID on multiple devices, the synced data will be merged and will appear on all devices syncing with the shared account.
    You can still share the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't have to be the same as the one used for iCloud.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • Can you use airport extreme 802.11n for files backup

    Can you use airport extreme 802.11 for files back up and sharing

    You can if you connect a hard drive that has been formatted correctly to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Apple does not officially support Time Machine backups for this type of setup, but you could store regular files this way.

  • HT204053 can I use the same apple id for many devices

    can I use the same apple id for many devices on the app find my phone

    You can if they are all using the same iCloud account (ID).  The app will only display the devices using the iCloud account that the app is currently signed into.  If your devices are using different accounts, with different IDs, you will need to sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID being used on the device you are trying to locate.

  • How can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    how can you use iMessage between 3 iPads with 3 different users but only one Apple ID?

    No you do not need separate Apple ID's in order to use 3 devices with one Apple ID. I use 4 devices to Message and FaceTime and all use the same Apple ID. You do need to add additional email addresses for the other devices.
    Look at this very informative video for the instructions.

  • Can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts?

    can you use an iTunes gift card on two different accounts? on two different computers?

    A Gift card will add a specified amount of mony to an iTunes account identified with a specific Apple ID (email address and password combination).
    If that Account is set up on both Devices, then they will share the money balance in that account. And can purchase things in the store with that balance.

  • Can you use find my iphone on a pc

    I have down loaded find my iphone on my ipod touch.i thoght it is no use having it unless i could get it on my pc computer.so can you get find my iphone on a pc

    You don't need the Find My iPhone app.  You need to turn on Find my iPod in Settings > iCloud on your iPod.  Then to locate your iPod from your PC, go to https://icloud.com and follow instructions.

  • HT4865 How can you use find my iphone or find my friends on a ipod for a kid (daughter) but restrict who can see your personal calenders on their device. I realize you can turn off icloud. If ipod is lost, others can get your data by turning on icloud

    I just purchased an ipod for my daughter. Since she is only 7 y/o she cannot create an icloud account. Therefore, I had to use my apple ID to create an icloud account on her ipod.  I would like to have find my iphone and friend finder on her ipod for tracking purposes.  The only problem is that all of my personal calender, notes, reminders etc get transferred automatically to her ipod which I don't want.
    I turned off the icloud calender, notes, reminders etc on her device so that my data doesn't get transferred to her device now. My biggest concern is that if she loses her ipod someone could turn the icloud function back on and automatically get my data. 
    Is there anyway to be able use the tracking features yet protect my icloud from being turned on by a thief?

    Password locks, Restrictions password protected or not anyone who gets your iPod can restore it to Factory Settings/New iPod.  This will completely disable Find My iPhone so that the iPod can no longer be tracked.  It is not a good idea to not use the lock password, because if someone get your iPod they can see all of your contacts, calendar entries email, email passwords, etc. 

  • Can you use find my iPhone with iPad and iPhone and the same icloud account for both?

    I have an iPhone and iPad. I use find my iPhone for both. If I use the same icloud account for both, how do I separate them on the map, or if I lose one and want to remote wipe the lost one but not the one in my possession?

    It will list each device separately, I even have two macs along with my ipad listed

  • Can you use a HDD as storage for Win 7 and Mountain Lion installed on a separate SSD?

    I replaced the stock 500 GB HDD on my 15 inch 2012 Macbook Pro with a 128 GB SSD, but I need more storage. I've also installed Windows 7 on the SSD on a partition via Bootcamp. My question is, can I install the HDD in the optical drive bay using a caddy and can I use the it's 500 GB as storage for both operating systems? Thank you.

    You can do that without any problem, and that's what most people do. You will only need to format the HDD with exFAT or FAT32 (do it on Windows), and it will be read by Windows and OS X

  • Can you use objects as "cut outs" for other objects when they are only bitmaps?

    Hi, If this is possible, this would help me a TON.
    I am using Flash CS4 professional
    I will explain the issue. I have made a tree with a tree trunk and on top of the trunk I have made steps. I am making a Flash Game and you have to go up this steps to continue on the level, while being able to collide with the parts of the tree that aren't the steps. To do this, I would have to cut out the parts on the trunk that are the steps. I have already made the steps. It would take a long time to remake them when the trunk is isolated as a selection and delete the part. If there is a way to just put the already made steps on the bit map and then use it as some kind of cookie cutter-like thing, it would be VERY useful for many things. If something like this exists, or if there is any way to do something like this, PLEASE TELL ME !

  • HT204655 Can you use the new photos library for iPhoto to save space

    I want to use the same library for photos and iPhoto because that way it will use a fraction of the space. Is that possible.

    When you open the iPhoto library with Photos for the first time it will convert it to a Photos library.  However, there is not a duplication of files or lost space on the HD. This is because the Photos library uses hard links to the original files in the iPhoto Library thus not duplicating files or taking up more space on the HD even though it may see so in the Finder. 
    I suggest you keep the iPhoto application and library until you're sure the Photos app and library will suit your needs.  Photos is missing many features that iPhoto has which many of rely on heavily.  You may find that Photos isn't for you right now and you want to continue using iPhoto until those missing features are restored. 

  • HT1222 Can you use the same authorization code for QT Pro on two computers? Or do you have to buy a code for each computer

    I have two computers a laptop and my Video Editing computer can I use the same activation code on both?

    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services.   So you can use the same Apple ID for up to 10 Macs associated with it.
    To create an Apple ID you need to enter  your full name and your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account.
