### Find

When a text frame and the Text tool are selected, you can access the functions for text find and replace here.

Find

  When you choose this sub-menu item, the Find dialog opens. Enter the text you would like to find in the Find edit field. Click the [Next] button in order to find the next occurrence of the Find text. Click the [Previous] button if you want to search for an occurrence before the current text cursor position.

  Important: If you want to find text but not replace it, don't click any of the buttons [Replace all], [Replace] or [Replace and Find Next]. Otherwise, the Find text will be mistakenly replaced by the (even empty) content of the Replace with edit field.

  The buttons in this dialog are described below from right to left:

  Next

    When you click on this button, the text which has been entered in the Find edit field will be searched for, beginning at the current text edit cursor position in the selected text frame. If found, it will be marked.

  Previous

    This button searches for the first occurrence of the Find text before the current cursor position in the selected text frame.

  Replace & Find Next

    Using this button, you replace the next found occurrence of the Find text with the Replace with text. Then the next found occurrence will be marked.

  Replace

    Click on this button in order to replace the found occurrence of the Find text with the Replace with text. Nothing else happens.

  Replace all

    Using this button, all found occurrences of the Find text in the whole text of the selected text frame (and any piped text frames) will be replaced by the Replace with text.

The other sub-menu items after Find don't open their own dialog!

Find Next

  This sub-menu item corresponds to the [Next] button in the Find dialog, as described above.

Find Previous

  This sub-menu item corresponds to the [Previous] button in the Find dialog, as described above.

Replace

  This sub-menu item corresponds to the [Replace] button in the Find dialog, as described above.

Replace and Find Next

  This sub-menu item corresponds to the [Replace and Find Next] button in the Find dialog, as described above.

Use Selection for Find

  If you have marked some text, it will be used in the Find edit field of the Find dialog automatically, after you have chosen this sub menu item.

Scroll to Selection

  If you cannot see a text selection in the current document view, use this sub-menu item. The document view will then scroll to a position where you can see the beginning of the text selection in the document view.
