How do you search for the content of a field in Writer?

English
#1

Hi,

How can I find instances of a field by searching for its content? Is it feasible? I know that I can open the Navigator and locate fields within the document.

What if my field contains the word “ACME,” is there a way to search for ACME and find the fields instances?

Thanks,

L

Oh… ok, that request also answers a problem I’m seeing elsewhere.

Thanks,

You can use Alternative Find & Replace for Writer (AltSearch) » Extensions to search for text in fields
