Joanie (and Don),
This will be simple enough to specify as follows:
- Replace stylename shall be unchecked and disabled if any character not
valid in a stylename occurs in the search or replace text. This means among
other things that neither spaces nor codes (anything appearing in gray) may
appear in the search/replace fields if the checkbox is to be enabled or
checked.
Would that help avoid the confusion? Part of me thinks that perhaps it
wouldn't -- you'd only be frustrated that you couldn't check the box.
- Peter

Don, come out of that hole. <grin> Your point is still valid -- whether it's
a "bug" or not. And I'm not just saying that because I want my suggestion
implemented. <grin> If it confused us, surely it has and will confuse the
average end-user.
Take care.

Joanmarie you got it.
Ouch!!! I am gonna crawl in a hole.
I guess I needed another cup of coffee this morning.
I forgot and entered the stylename with the control-shift-coma instead of
just typing it in. Oh well.
Withdraw my bug report but for one thing, it shouldn't say es~para. in any
case since styles are not represented that way anymore.
Ok so I am trying to save face grin!!!
