OK, i've got the SRWE applet. the URL you gave seems to be the
Windows version, but i found SRWE on Chris Johnson's site:
www.chris-johnson.org.uk/ovationpro/applets.html -- version 0.02
apparently dated 2003. SRWE = Search and Replace With Effects, i see.
it's rather frustrating in use, though, unless i am misunderstanding
something. i now want to find "any text" in the style "bulleted list"
in my 300-page document because i want to check for consistency.
in the Find field i type the wildcard \* meaning "any string" and
leave the Replace field blank. i expect it to find the next whole
block that is marked with this style. but it results in an error:
"Wild card search text matches the null string." that's not much
help.
what am i misunderstanding?
