Hello,
I have a 250-page document divided into several chapters written in different colored fonts according to the themes addressed.
I want to be able to display the chapters in the same color to check for repetitions or redundancies in the texts.
Thank you for your collaboration

    Hello,

    in the Find dialog box, leave Find empty and click on the 'More>>' button, then on 'Format'.
    Choose Font and then the desired color that you confirm.
    With 'Next', you will move from area to area of that color.

    By continually trying, we eventually succeed.

    In addition to the thank you (yes, it does happen!!!), remember to mark it as resolved. Thank you

      Hello,
      Thank you eriiic for this demonstration of strength! It's great!
      In the end, Microsoft has planned everything and even more, but you need to know the procedures.
      I got what I wanted (Arial, 12pts, Italic, Blue) with access by clicking on "next".
      I would have liked to display the searched text continuously and in full, disregarding the rest that is in another format. It must be possible, but I don't have the key to access it.
      Thanks again and have a nice day
      Best regards

      In my opinion, what you want can only be done by macro.
      That would be a bit much for limited use.

      This is about writing a novel with descriptive parts in black followed by comments in blue addressing the theme of the novel. To avoid repetitions, I wanted a continuous reading of only the comments. That's why I put them in blue and in italics.
      Macro question, I have no qualifications to do so.

    It doesn't exist ... you need to:
    • assign a style to the chapter titles
    • switch to Outline view
    • click on the buttons on the left to hide/show paragraphs and chapters

      Hello,
      Thank you Raymond for your input.
      I will ask Microsoft to fix this issue in the next version of Word!
      We should be able to display text based on color, font type, its characteristics (italic, bold, underline), its size, etc.
      In the meantime, I will follow the proposed procedure.
      Best regards
