Automatic formatting of entire line by character. Word

Hello,

You can use:

Either the "Replace" function with the option to modify the font, color, etc...
Or use the "Format Painter" button.
Reminder: double-clicking on the button allows you to keep the function. To disable it, click the "Format Painter" button again.

See you later

Good evening,

thank you for your response. Reproducing the formatting has already got me started on the work, but it still requires clicking on each line where the character appears.

However, I don’t see how to do it with search?
Because you need to search for the character at the beginning of the line, then color the entire corresponding line.

Good evening,

The "search" command with the "match case" and "highlight" options
allows the first searched letter (in uppercase) to be emphasized by highlighting it in yellow.

Otherwise, a macro would need to be written.

See you later

Hello,

You perform a find-and-replace by checking the use of wildcard characters.
To format all the characters of each line that starts, for example, with the letter A:

Find: (^13A*^13)
Replace with: \1

You click on the More button, and in the dropdown list, you select Font, and you choose the format (font, color, bold, etc.)

This is valid if your lines properly end with a paragraph return.

If you want to be helped effectively, make sure you are on the right forum,... and specify the software used as well as its version. We lack clairvoyants!

I admit your method is practical!

I'm checking the wildcard characters, typing everything as you wrote it, parentheses as needed. But it only indicates paragraphs, or more precisely from the end of paragraph n to the end of paragraph n+1.

Note that the character is >
So I have (^13>*^13), which might mean something different for Word?
