There are a few ways to find text within AlphaWord Plus:
• You can search for a text string within a file or across all files. See the
instructions below.
• You can search and replace text within a file (see page 34).
• You can view a list of sections in a particular file. Sections are separated by
paragraph returns, and the section selector displays the first line of each
paragraph. See page 35.
In AlphaWord Plus, you can search for text within the current file or within
all files.
To search for text, follow these steps:
1. Press find or -F.
2. Type the text you want to find. (If you've searched for text before, press
clear file to remove that text before typing the new text you want to find.)
You can enter up to 100 characters, including spaces. Note that this type
of search is not case-sensitive, but if you choose to find and replace (see
page 34), you can make that search case-sensitive.
3. Do one of the following:
• Press enter to search within the current file.
• Press option-enter to search within all files. (You can't search all files
if password protection is enabled on your NEO; see page 76.)
• To exit the Find screen without searching, press esc.
If the text string is found, the cursor appears at the beginning of the string.
If NEO can't find the text you entered, you will see a brief message to tell
you that the text is not found. If the text is found in another file, you'll be
asked enter to open the file.
4. To find the same text again, press
