Searching for Paragraph Formatting

Word has a very powerful search capability that allows you to find not just text but the formatting of text as well. To search for paragraph formatting, follow these steps:

1. Press Ctrl+F to display the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
2. Make sure the Find What box is empty.
3. Click on the More button if it is available. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. Click on the No Formatting button, if it is enabled.
5. Click on the Format button and select Paragraph. The Find Paragraph dialog box appears.
6. Select the paragraph attributes for which you want to search. When selecting attributes that use check boxes, a check in a check box means the matching paragraph must have the attribute. If the check box is empty, then the paragraph won't have that attribute. A shaded box means the attribute doesn't matter.
7. Click on OK.
8. Click on Find Next.
