[comp.sys.mac] Find & Search in Word 3.01

ben@tasis.utas.oz (Ben Lian) (08/11/88)

Please tell me I'm wrong, but it appears that Find and Search/Replace
in Word 3.01 works only on plain text.  That is, it does not pick up
text that has had some character formatting done on it, e.g., italics,
small caps, etc.  What's more, even with Match Upper and Lower Case
selected, Word does not seem to pick up 'Caps' when the specified
search pattern is 'caps'.

Is this bug (omission?) fixed in 3.02?

It would have been nice to at least be able to format the search pattern.
That is, absolutely literal pattern specification.
