The Find and Replace command on the Edit menu searches and replaces text on a Library-wide basis. The Web Page Editor has two tools, Find in this Web Page and Replace in this Web Page that allow you to locate and replace text in the current web page only.

Note: To replace formatting, see Replace Fonts and Styles under Use Content Tools in the Build an Outline chapter.

Since Find and Replace have similar functions, they are contained on two tabs in the same dialog box. They both have these fields:

• Find what: A text field where you enter the word or phrase that you want to find.
   
• Match case: Check this option to limit the search operation to words whose case matches the spelling (uppercase and lowercase letters) entered in the Find What field. This means that the search becomes case-sensitive. For example, when Match case is checked and the search term is: "option", you find all instances of "option" with this exact spelling but not when the word is spelled "Option" or "OPTION".
   
• Match whole word: Check this option to find entire words only. For example, when Match whole word is selected and the search term is "condition", you find all instances of "condition", but not the words "conditional" or "conditions".
   
• Match cyclic: Check this option to continue the search from the beginning of the document after the end of the document is reached.

The Find tab also contains the following field: 

• Find: Starts the search.

The Replace tab also contains the following fields:

• Replace with: A text field where you enter the word or phrase that replaces the found text or phrase.
   
• Replace: Replaces the text in the Find What field with the word or phrase from the Replace With field.
   
• Replace All: Replaces all instances of the text in the Find What field with the word or phrase in the Replace With field.
   
  Note: Any text that is replaced can be undone using Undo on the Standard toolbar.
