------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Apr 26 02:17:13 -0700 2005 ------- I would appreciate the ability to search for the combination of string, format, character style and paragraph style (or exclusion of some format, style...), and replace by another combination, for examples: + searching all "biblio" paragraph-styled new line characters, to delete them (or to replace them with ". "), + applying to all my "_author" character-styled, not "biblio" paragraph-styled characters the "_author in txt" character style, + replacing all strings consisting of a newline character followed by a "biblio" paragraph-styled, "_author" character-styled word, with the same string where the word would have been applied my "_author 1st" character style, + search for "biblio" paragraph styled paragraphs and cancel all raw formatting in them, + replacing any english language formatted dot between two figures by a french (or russian) formatted comma, or vice-versa, + replacing any english language formatted dot between a non-figure and a figure by a french language formatted "0,". To my mind, a simple user interface for this should be the ability to enter any string (allowing for wild and special characters) in "search for" and "replace with" fields, and to apply to such a string there any format and/or style. When the text in automatically entered because it was selected when "Find & replace" was called, "search formatted string", "search character-styled string", "search paragraph-styled string" options should be proposed. Since many people don't know wild characters and may want to look for stars etc., the ability of using wild characters should be an option available only in "More options". An "inherit" value for any attribute, and a global "inherit format" option should be available (specially for the "replace with" string), but this goes beyond the "Find & replace" fonctionality. Alternatively to the choice of any attribute value or style, a multiple choice list of attribute values or styles to be excluded should be proposed to the user formatting his string to search for. So the interface for fomatting text in this field should be slightly different from the one in the document text (or in the "Replace with" field). These supplementary options (excluding patterns) could appear in a "More options" part of the dialog. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
