<pre>"Searching for attributes is not meant to work like you imagined: setting a
checkmark to an attribute, then put the wanted attribute values into
Find/Replace boxes. That would, e.g., be meaningless if you check several
attributes... The feature allows searching for *text* defined in the Find box,
which has the attributes selected that simply differ from default. See help [1]
for details."
Interesting. To me that indicates the Page Style should never have been
included in the Attributes list. I don't think your view of the F&R panel
matches how it works when searching for Paragraph Styles, which is a valuable
and intuitive feature of Writer.
"A different thing is that actually selecting "Page style" attribute doesn't
seem to work anyway."
Agreed.
My request is that a user should be able to search to find a page style, just
as they can currently search for a Paragraph Style.
"Note also that page style is a setting of a paragraph (style), so searching
for "page style" would only make sense when searching for paragraphs ..."
I don't think I understand the above statement, because it makes no sense to
me. As far as I know, a Page Style applies to a page, not to a paragraph. If
someone did think that way though it could explain why someone included it in
the Attributes... panel. The statement implies that each paragraph in a page
could have a different Page Style, which seems to me to lead to all sorts of
confusion and complexity.
The need for a search for Page Style is quite high because when Writer loads a
.docx file, it generates vast numbers of page styles with different names even
though most of them contain the same settings.</pre>
