philipt18 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 If you search in Publisher for a word, and an instance of that word has a footnote after it, that word instance won't be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot this important detail: 🙂 With that setting (Match Whole Word Only) enabled, the word is not found anymore. But it will be otherwise in these instances: ,word. (word) #word# so the followed by footnote scenario is a bug. It is actually a nasty bug that should be given priority.

philipt18 Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Another scenario, which is similar, is searching for the word followed by a space. Even if there is a space after the word, if there is a footnote, the word isn't found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other apps (e.g., MS Word, Apple Pages) will find it. I believe this is a bug but was probably just an oversight. Publisher correctly finds a word followed by punctuation even with Whole Words selected, and it just needs to treat note markers as punctuation for Find.

MikeTO Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 One more variation of this bug. An index marker or anchor after the word will also cause Find to fail with whole words selected. This is less common because Publisher inserts index markers and anchors before words, but if you have one after it won't work.
