Searching and replacing |
|
This chapter explains the functions for searching and replacing text and formatting.
| You can use the ribbon command Home | Search to search for terms in the text or use the ribbon command Home | Replace to replace them with other terms. |
| If, for example, a text contained several occurrences of the name "Smith" misspelled as "Smyth", you could direct Write to replace all occurrences of "Smyth" with "Smith". |
| If necessary, you can use Advanced search options to define your search more specifically. You can also search and replace formatting, such as character or paragraph formatting. |
| Bookmarks provide another way of quickly finding specific points in the document. To do so, you set a bookmark at the desired point in the document and give it a name. You can now jump to such points in the document at any time by choosing the ribbon command Home | Go to. You can insert as many bookmarks as you like in a document. |
▪The command Go to
| The command Go to also allows you to scroll to specific points in the document – for example, to a specific page, a specific chapter, a specific object, etc. |
| In addition to the ribbon command Home | Search for searching for terms in the text, there is another option whereby you enable the sidebar and use the search function integrated there. |
| You can navigate quickly and directly in the document map in a document by enabling the sidebar. This displays all headings, bookmarks, objects, etc. on the right edge of the window. Simply click with the mouse to jump to the corresponding point in the document. |
