In other words: If, for example, a "numbers" (e.g. bold, yellow highlight) character style must be applied to all strings of numbers in a document, currently the only way to actually do that is to individually select each such string and apply the character style to them individually. The Search and Replace dialog is capable of modifying text properties for searched strings, so it is possible to achieve a result visually identical to the "numbers" style you want to apply by adding the desired text properties (bold, yellow highlight) to the 'Replace with' field using the 'Format...' button. However, text thus modified is only visually identical to, and is not actually using, the "numbers" character style. Ergo, if further modifications are then made to the "numbers" character style (e.g. italics, not bold, no highlight), the text modified by the Search & Replace dialog will not automatically update its formatting as text actually using the "numbers" character style would. See the following similar requests / duplicates for variations and expansions on this request; summary and importance updated to reflect merge: Bug 44801 requests Search capability for character styles Bug 47184 requests Search and Replace capability for page, frame, list, and character styles, with priority to character styles -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
