- Find/Replace Text
- Selecting Find/Replace from the Edit menu activates a dialog
- box that allows you to search the document for specific text, or
- patterns using special characters. Use Find/Replace to search for
- and selectively change specific text strings. Choosing Find/Replace
- displays the Find/Replace dialog box.
- The following options are available:
- Document — controls the scope of the search. The control shows
- Document when a document page is currently displayed in the
- document window. If Document is unchecked (default setting),
- Find/Replace searches only the current text chain, beginning at the
- text insertion point or start of the highlighted range and continuing to
- the end of the chain. When Document is checked, all document
- pages are searched. There should be no text box active at the
- start of a Document search operation.
- Whole Word — finds only occurrences that are distinct words (not
- embedded in other text). For example, if you search for “the,” the
- will be found, but not their or other. If Whole Word is unchecked
- (default setting), any occurrence of the specified text, regardless of
- its position within other text, is found.
- Ignore Case — (default setting) finds any occurrence of the specified
- text, regardless of its capitalization. If Ignore Case is unchecked,
- the exact capitalization as entered must be present.
- To find text: Enter the text you want to find in the field labeled Find
- what. Enter the replacement text in the Change to field. Leave this
- field blank if you want to search for (but not change) specific text, or
- if you want to delete the search text. Position the text insertion point
- where you want the search to begin (or deactivate all boxes if you are
- performing a Document search).
- The four buttons on the bottom of the Find/Replace dialog box
- control the search and changes:
- Find Next — begins the search, or finds the next occurrence of the
- specified search criteria.
- Replace — changes the highlighted text.
- Replace All — changes all occurrences of the search criteria. An
- alert is displayed showing the number of occurrences changed.
- Close - discards the changes and closes the dialog box.
