Default Finding Just Latin Words

Hi


How can find just Latin words (with several font types) in a document which includes complex scripts too?

You could use a wildcard Find, with the 'Find' character range limited to the desired characters. For example:
Find = <[A-Za-z]{1,}>
will find any whole word containing only characters from the standard Latin alphabet.

Are you talking about Latin language or Latin alphabet?

If you mean Latin language then you are likely "out of luck" as the say.
So many Latin words have found their way into English, after all.

You'd need to find a complete searchable Latin lexicon. Then compare every word in your document with every word in the lexicon.

Probably quicker to do it manually...

Not so. If the text really is in the Latin language, it should have the proofing language set to that, in which case the task is quite straightforward.

I want to search and select all Latin words or phrases which are finished by "," in an Arabic-English document, but totally not separately. For example the results of searching become something like this:

Above range Color,
Abnormal,
Active topology,

and so...

How can do this?

You might try using a wildcard Find, where:
Find = [!,]@,

I can search for example 5 character words via <[A-Za-z]{5}> and 7 character words via <[A-Za-z]{7}>, but <[A-Za-z]{1,}> (for using all English words) does not work at all.
What is the problem?
Thank you.

Works for me. As does <[A-Za-z]@>
