Dean, Thanks for this instruction! You know, I never knew that Word Find would accept a formatting code as a target for a search, I guess because I know that the codes are invisible on the screen (from previous sighted experience )and I thought the Find function only would search for visible characters. Wow. I know it sounds simple enough, but to me it's revelatory. Thanks again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dean Martineau To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 11:04 AM Subject: Re: Finding Bolded Words with JFW the ideal thing here is if the attachment is a Word document. Otherwise, you want to bring it into Word if possible. Now use word find, Ctrl-f, and hit ctrl-b to search for bold text. You probably don't want to type any text anto the Find What dialog, since you're looking for bold text. Hit enter, then escape, and you'll be on the first occurrence of bold text.
