Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Find and Replace is ancient programming and should be working at this stage. It might be something else that is making this an issue. C/C++ ancient programming code for Find and Replace. It looks like it might be something with the button or the drop down menu/type ahead field and not the basic Find and Replace. example: drop down menu or type ahead field is missing the font selection 1.404.584.8180 office www.linkedin.com/in/vandyjuggler On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 3:55 PM toki wrote: > On 4/23/20 5:51 PM, Kenneth Hanson wrote: > > >the current names of those buttons don't really make any sense.

Attribute is the specific quality associated with the presentation markup. Presentation markup is the stuff to use to make your document look good, bad, ugly, etc. Setting _Comic Sans_ as the font, is setting an attribute (the font) for the presentation markup. Setting _Libre Office Green 0_as the foreground colour, is setting an attribute (ink colour) of the presentation markup. Note: Attribute can also refer to syntactical markup.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Toni, Based on my current understanding, the current names of those buttons don't really make any sense. Note how the "No Format" button clears both. I don't think the current help text is any good either. I would describe the "formats" you can search for as specific instances or valuations of the "attributes". attribute -> format a/b/c color -> auto, red, blue, ... font -> Liberation Sans, Liberation Serif... etc. But this has nothing to do with any normal meaning of the words "format" or "attribute". So I wouldn't worry too much about the words themselves, and just describe what the features do. Examples: - If you want to search for *any* manually applied font, click the "Attributes" button and check the box next to "Font", then click "OK". - If you want to search for *a particular* manually applied font, such as "Liberation Serif", click the "Format" button, then... --Kenneth On Thu, Apr 23, 2020 at 12:09 PM Toni B wrote: > Thank you for the helpful comments Luke.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Thank you for the helpful comments Luke. I will plan to put your suggestion 4 in the documentation. Can anyone explain the difference between an attribute and a format in "beginner" or "layperson" language? I don't think I have a good understanding. I couldn't find it in the documentation, but perhaps I overlooked it. Have an awesome day!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Four comments... 1/ To my mind there's a missing piece of information: the definition of (or how to determine) the default font. Is it the Font used by the Default paragraph style (and if so, is it the Family, the Asian Text Font, or the CTL Font)? Or is it something else, like the Default character style (and if so, is it the Family, the Asian Text Font, or the CTL Font)? Or something else? 2/ The information callout says: "If you want to find text with any font by name, click the Format button in the Find & Replace dialog of LibreOffice Writer." Since people may read just the callout, should it perhaps instead say: "If you want to find text with any font by name (that is not the default font), click the Format button in the Find & Replace dialog of LibreOffice Writer." 3/ Also, reading the text reminds me of why I originally joined the team - to try to write up what I've been learning about what is meant by direct formatting. I've had so little spare time I still haven't made any contribution in that area. So I wonder if, in the opening paragraph that opens by saying: "You can search for text with attributes that are applied either by direct formatting or by styles." - whether the mention of "direct formatting" could be hyperlinked to any documentation that explains what's meant by that. Or is that an area where I could still perhaps make a contribution? 4/ One final small suggestion: in the "To search for all font changes" section, might it be a good idea to add a sentence like: "To search for a specific font (e.g. Times Roman), or a particular font style (e.g. Italic), select "Format..." instead of "Attributes..." in the Find & Replace panel", followed by the "Font" tab in the provided "Search for formatting" panel. luke On 23/4/20 2:37 am, S Shravz wrote: Glad if my inputs did sort this out in some way.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Thank you all for the suggestions and research. Shravani - I do see the behavior you describe and afterward, the text makes better sense. As an "end user" I think this behavior is very confusing. I would expect the Find/Replace to work as described in Find and Replace Paragraph Styles. I will have to let this sink in and see if I can find a better way to describe it for those first using it.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Hi Toni, I just looked into the steps you have drafted in your first email, when looked into online help I found related content in the below link which might answer your query: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/find_attributes.html?=WRITER=WIN The link says "For example, if you search for the Font attribute, all instances of text that do not use the default font are found". So I guess the "Font" function works only to search for the font which doesn't default in the document. Same with the font color option as well when font color is changed in the document and the "Find next" option is clicked with the "Font color" attribute selected, it works. I tried both the options and it worked for me as per whats mentioned in the link. Hope my explanation makes sense.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Maybe you are seeing https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106076 Ilmari Toni B kirjoitti 21.4.2020 klo 18.42: Hello Team! I could use some guidance. I am double checking some things in updating the Writer Chapter 3 Guide. I can not get the *Find & Replace > Attributes* option to work at all. Should we report this as a bug? Do we delete this section from the manual? *Format* works fine. It is just the *Attributes* search that doesn't work. Please see the steps in my previous email below. Since the instructions say the search looks for changes from the default, I changed some of the font colors but still no options show up in the *Find*: box. [image: image.png] Thank you!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Hello Team! I could use some guidance. I am double checking some things in updating the Writer Chapter 3 Guide. I can not get the *Find & Replace > Attributes* option to work at all. Should we report this as a bug? Do we delete this section from the manual? *Format* works fine. It is just the *Attributes* search that doesn't work. Please see the steps in my previous email below. Since the instructions say the search looks for changes from the default, I changed some of the font colors but still no options show up in the *Find*: box. [image: image.png] Thank you!

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Font, font color and a lot of others can be found by selecting what you want replaced clicking on the FORMAT button and then selecting the formatting of the selected text that you are looking for. In the replace field, enter the text you want to use as the replacement, click FORMAT and select the formatting you want for that text. For some reason ATTRIBUTES is only available for the field that you want replaced--making it rather useless.

[libreoffice-documentation] Find & replace attributes not working
Hello Team, I am reviewing *Writer Chapter 3 Working with Text Advanced*..
