Find a Font or Style

Hi,

How do I replicate the Word function that allows me to find any text of a given font? I suspect this has something to do with the "Attribute Sensitive" checkbox, but I don't see how to apply the attribute to the search.

Specifically, I'm trying to jump to each sentence that is in the font "Courier New".

Thanks!

Ray

Aha! I figured it out.

I was not using the Format menu to format my query, I was using Tools.

Once I started using the Format menu with my active cursor in the Find window, I found that I could add attributes to my search.

I'll leave this post for others to search on.

I'm glad you figured it out Ray. You could also use the menu Macro > Select By Font if you want to select text in a particular font en masse. There are other macros which work on other kinds of formatting.

We also have ways to find the next instance of a particular style, eg: Format > Character Style > Select Next in Same Style. However, you first have to select the desired style applied in your document.
