Find bulleted text

M

In Word 2000, this seems to be impossible, since:

- It's not in the 'Special' list.
- It's not in the Font box.
- It's not (necessarily) a Style.
- In bulleted text, a bullet isn't a character for the purposes of
Finding.

But I can't believe that something so simple as 'Find bulleted tect' is
not possible.

Can anyone help?

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to search for bulleted text in
Word (that I know of). One solution would be to search for the
paragraph indenting. The only problem with that is that you will also
find non-bulleted text that is indented also.

The best way to do this would most likely be not to use the bullets
tool to create this format. Instead, you should define a style for your
bulleted paragraphs and use the style to do your formatting. Then
you'll be able to search for the style very easily in Find and Replace.
