-In my work, it would be VERY useful to be able to search for any paragraph
that has Bullets and Numbering formatting applied to it.
-I can't find any way to achieve this using the Find and Replace dialog
(ctrl+f).
-Does anyone know a way to do this?
-You'd think it'd be easy for the programmers to provide this capability.
After all, you can search on so many other attributes of character formatting
or paragraph formatting.
Thanks,

Click to expand...

Ctrl+f. Click on More. Click on Format and choose Style, scroll to the style
that you are looking for.
 
Thanks, but that seems to only allow you to search for paragraph styles
(predefined styles such as what you could assign using Format/Style). What I
want is to search for any paragraph of ANY paragraph style that has Bullets
and Numbering applied as manual formatting.
 
I am Not sure if your version has this option - but in Microsoft Office Word
2003 Basic Ed. - go to Format>Reveal Style and Formatting. In the Formatting
Pane, right click the Bullet Style and you will see "Select All", click on it
and it will highlight all the instances of the "Style" in the document. Not
real sure if this is what you want.
 
Thanks gap! That is not the exact capability that I was seeking, but it is
nice to know about. Meanwhile, I think I will send a suggestion to Microsoft
about possibly, in a future version of Word, adding "Bullets and Numbering"
to the options under the "Format" button on the "Find and Replace" dialog.
