walt.farrell Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I know that it was previously possible to use Text > Find... and then to specify a Format option via the cog icon, such as Font Family: Arial. Pressing Find would then find all the text in that font. That seems to be broken in .206. I'm not sure when it last worked. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the cog wheel and the format selection are available. If necessary, reset the program (Ctrl-Start). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michail Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I hadn't been involved with the search function for a long time, because the search for formatting didn't work properly at that time. I had written this in a thread at the time. Just now I realize that it still doesn't work. If I leave the fields blank and just search for a formatting, nothing happens at all.

Are you saying they work for you, and that you can select a font in that dialog and find all the text that uses it? -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I had a similar problem, but thought I was responsible. (searching default font Arial to replace with some style) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to work. Are you saying they work for you, and that you can select a font in that dialog and find all the text that uses it? No, @walt.farrell, it doesn't work for me either. In my first article I assumed that you don't have the controls. But everything seems to be there. In my second post I explained that the search for formatting never worked properly for me. After my report at that time I did not pursue it then further. Possibly it worked in the meantime. In version 206 the click on the button "Find" or pressing the enter key is completely ineffective (with this kind of search). walt.farrell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
