Bug ID: 166253
Summary: We need NOT or equivalent in Find in Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
We need a way to create a Find query in Writer that matches text that does
*not* have an attribute.
Eg "find a word in a font that is NOT Calibri". Or "find a character that is
NOT highlighted in this yellow."
Writer's support of regular expressions already makes Word look like a toy when
working with very long texts. Going further, adding NOT could save many hours
of manual searches that often miss occurrences.
In the first example above, imagine you are finalising a 100,000-word text and
you know there are odd words in the wrong font in random places. To make this
worse, the wrong font may look almost identical to the correct one. There are
multi-step workarounds, but they are time-consuming, unreliable and you usually
have to drop what you are doing to implement them.
