------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 31 06:19:28 -0800 2005 ------- I don't agree. Using the approach "Format - Default" will remove any formatting, also formatting the user wishes to keep such as super/subscripts. This prevents the user from automating the cleanup of a large document: after resetting all formatting, tedious manual work of reapplying direct formatting where needed, such as super- en subscripts, can start. A diily life example: a user marks added text by coloring it red. OK, he'd better used the revision functions, but many people do not. At best, they'll do it next time. In the mean time, using Search All then Format Default will remove all super and subscripts in chemical formulae, italics in plant names, etc. and the only option in Writer is to do manual work, either by removing the formatting one by one or by removing all formatting, then reapplying manually what needs to be kept. I do not see the benefit of the current "design limitation". What is wrong with the user to replace a specific format with nothing? After all, this is the same logic that is applied in replacing text with nothing, except it applies to formatting. I therefore am convinced that an enhancement suggestion for greater control over searching and replacing formatting is valid and should be filed, be it not with the highest priority. I do not have the troubles mentionned above wiht my own documents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
