An error occurred while saving the comment Márcio, the latest Illustrator version has an expanded options for selecting text, just for that exactly.
Have you seen them? Select > Same > Text block.
These commands allow you to select text of specific size, font, style, size, etc., combined or not.
Does is suffice you?Also, if you you search for more complex search conditions, please try FindReplace Art panel from the AstuteGraphics plugins pack: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=FindReplace+Art
A paid tool, but it worth it for some tedious tasks. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Clif, is this still an issue for you?
I just tried to reproduce it, and separations look correct in Acrobat if you export a document with a pieces colored in a Pantone and a shade of overprinted black over it.
Can you please confirm this or refute?
Also, what preset were you using when exported your file? -

You can drag an asset with the Alt/Opt key held to embed it instead of placing.
However, please note a PDF-copy of an asset is used, and not the original artwork you had imported into a Library, which means the embedded copy can have extra clipping masks and expanded effects.
An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder if this is still an issue for you, because an asset from a Library can be imbedded any time with a button in Control or Properties panel.
No copypasting is required now.
Miguel, can you confirm or refute this? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Ctrl+C, Ctrl+F, I know....
But it’s slow.Especially if you have a lot of heavy linked files.
Also, if you try to use Copy and Paste in Front for objects that belong to different groups, Ai puts them all into the top one, instead of leaving all in their original groups — I never deselected these objects, so it should respect the order and place in front of selected objects!
Same happens if I use Copy option in Move dialog...
There are several scripts that workaround these problems, and a plugin even, but they are not as fast as Move command with Copy option:

https://blog.mikeswanson.com/post/162500942564/duplicateSure it should be a default command, don’t you think?

An error occurred while saving the comment Meanwhile you can use VectorFirstAid plugin by AstuteGraphics that can do it and even more.
Also, try the free script by Carlos Canto:
https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator/how-to-divide-all-textframes-in-one-character-per-textframe/m-p/3205429An error occurred while saving the comment Partially it can be done via Flatten Transparency trick.
Fully — via VectorFirstAid plugin by AstuteGraphics.
Voted though.An error occurred while saving the comment Lisa, there’s a plugin that does exactly what you want — VectorFirstAid by AstuteGraphics

An error occurred while saving the comment Yeah, creating an artboard sized rectangle is a very common operation indeed.
There is script that does that, named after a removed Release Artboard command in CS4, when multiple artboards were introduced.
Rename the attached file to .jsx instead of .txt and make an action that runs it.An error occurred while saving the comment Ryan, I had a script that does exactly this. If you remember, before CS4 we had only one artboard, and there was a command 'Release Artboard' that converted an artboard into a rectangle. So this is why the script is called like that :) (rename it to .jsx from .txt)
And sure, it should be a default function, both Scale to artboard and Create an Artboard Sized Rectangle.

An error occurred while saving the comment Matthew, why don’t you use Save a Copy instead of Save As?
Save As saves the current file as a new one and keeps it opened.
Save a Copy... well, it saves a copy, and leaves your original file opened.The issue is knows though, and I believe some steps are made toward making it more streamlined.
Try to View > Hide bounding box.
This will leave you everything except accidental resizing and rotating.
When you need it back you can press Ctrl+Shift+B, or call Free Transform (which is broken though) by hitting E... or rebind Bounding Box to E :)
