Publisher Text Find problems - help welcomed

[gw_westdale]

 

Working in Publisher 2.5 with V1 templates provided to me for election material, though I do not think the versions are the issue.

I think I have fallen over two weaknesses in text search  - catch 22s

One does not seem to be able to search text for paragraphs set to No Style.
I appreciate the ambiguity here of a) not using style in the search   and  b) searching for text with no style.
This would be very helpful as part of the checking process so I can find the odd ones I have missed.

An almost identical problem with fonts.
The templates had some odd fonts and I made a substitution to Old English so that I could spot them visually.
Text Find cannot search for the missing font as it uses the installed fonts as the menu.
It also cannot search for text using my substitute font as the text is not set to that font ( the substitution elsewhere in the process? )

Any ideas very welcome - especially if I have missed something obvious - I have many more documents to go.
I didn't see this as a topic elsewhere - apologies if I missed but I am in a bit of a rush here!

You can search for characters or paragraphs that are set to No Style. I just tested it and it worked fine in 2.5.

You can't search for a missing font with Find and Replace but you can use Window > Font Manager to see the list of missing fonts and then click the Locate button to find the text.
