Based on the numerous new problems and bugs introduced with the new search features in Word 2011 (and the pervasive shoddiness of Microsoft’s work in general), I don’t need to tell you which answer I find is the more likely to be correct. Basically, the reason that writing tools do not use a search-field-based approach has to do with text selection, as we can see by examining how well Word 2011’s new feature performs in the real world.

I’ve included an example below. This example finds and replaces styles, fonts, and paragraph formatting. You can certainly modify this code and do replacements for specific formatting and you do not need to include all the formats I’ve included with the example. Shawn Larson Mac Word Test Microsoft MacBU -- This posting is provided “AS IS” with no warranties, and confers no rights. Thanks much for this, Shawn. Because I'm an Applescript newbie, however, I don't know how to go about paring this down to achieve only what I want to achieve, and using the correct terms in the correct places to specify what I want to find and what I want to replace.

If fonts are not completely embedded in graphics, the font name may not be listed in the Find Font dialog box. • Find Font is not available in a Story Editor window.

(Which remind me, those Macros are not deleted yet. They are now in the Normal template.

If you can figure out how to make this Replace Everywhere script work (including footnotes/endnotes), or get some expert help with it, I'd much appreciate that. And then I think you'd have something worth posting for others to use -- just as I now use your excellent Set Window Size, View, and Zoom script, for which you have my deep gratitude. If you added some instructions to this on how and where in the script to substitute various formatting options (bold, etc.), it would prove handy for numerous purposes, and not just for me. I can't be the only person who needs to perform such actions. I'm not afraid of Applescript. I have tweaked some simple scripts myself -- including your Set Window Size, View, and Zoom.

In the find field I might want Space^p and the Replace ^p to strip out the extra spaces - I cannot get Word to perform the replacement for me. I cannot get Nisus to do it either incidentally!

But if Microsoft truly believed that this approach was valid and could work, then at the very least they should have implemented it properly with the correct and expected selection highlighting colour changes, and with the required options to limit the scope of the Find/Replace operations, so that this approach could really replace the old one in all cases and perform appropriately in all situations. We are far from this, because such rigour, consistency and reliable usability is beyond Microsoft’s capabilities. I am of course not saying that the old Find/Replace feature was ideal.

A pain in this instance. However, I can comprehend why it might be tricky to implement since the paragraph markers are created by Word when you create a footnote rather than by the user.

Setting specific formats to find and replace is actually a pretty straightforward tweak. I suspect you've already spent more time messing with the scripting than it would take you to set up the F&R in the Word dialog over and over again.:) wrote: > I fiddled with your script and got it to change underline to italic in the main body of the document. But it doesn't do headers/footers, and it doesn't do endnotes/footnotes.
