------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 24 02:43:36 -0800 2005 ------- It currently is not possible to search for specific direct formatting and remove it. Steps to reproduce the problem (1) Type a few lines of text, highlight a word and press Ctrl+I to format it in italics (2) Open the "Search & replace" dialog. With the cursor in "Search for' press format, select "italic" from the font tab. Leave "replace with" empty. Press "Replace all". The message "Search key replaced 1 times" appears, but nevertheless, the italics remains in the doc. I know you can press Find All to highlight all instances, then choose Format - Default to remove any direct formatting. However, this indeed removes any direct formatting such as super and subscripts, font colors, etc, and not only italics. A more precise control of what formatting to remove and what not indeed on its own constitutes an enhancement over the current situation, but comes in particularly handy when there is a need to "clean-up" imported or badly formatted documents without loosing valuable direct formatting. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
