Selecting cells based on text style in a document

I'm aware of conditional highlighting and that it highlights sales under conditions provided but how about selecting sales under a condition? I would like to find and select all cells within my document under the condition of its text style, is this possible? Thanks in advance

There's no built-in reverse play here, if that's what you're looking for.


You can select any cell(s) and see what conditional highlight rules are set for that cell (or cells), but there is no mechanism to see which cells have any given conditional highlighting rule applied, nor to search by cell format.


It might be possible to craft an AppleScript to scan a table, checking each cell's format, but I haven't tried (yet ;) )
