Read the steps below to learn about find and replace. If you wish to practice using
find and replace, there's a practice exercise on page 4--11.
Here's how it works •••
To find and replace words:
•
Be sure the Main Menu is on the screen
•
Press CTRL
&
K
•
Type the word or words to be replaced
•
Press RETURN
•
Type the new word(s)
•
Press RETURN
•
If
you want to use any options, type the option letters, or type
?
and
RETURN to display the options on the screen. Type the letters of the
options you want to use
•
Press RETURN to start the find
&
replace action
After using find and replace, you'll need to reformat the document if the replacement
text had a different number of characters than the original text. To reformat the
entire document, you'll use the repeat next command and reformat paragraph
commands on the Main Menu.
Here'S how it works •••
To reformat the entire document:
•
Press CTRL
&
1
+
D to move the cursor to the beginning of the document
•
Press CTRL
&
0 (zero)
•
Press CTRL
&
6
If
a word needs to be hyphenated, the reformat will stop. You can type a
hyphen or use the left cursor key to move the cursor to a more
appropriate position and then type a hyphen.
(If you don't want to
hyphenate a word, press CTRL & 6.)
Touching any key cancels the repeat command.
After hyphenating a
word, you'll need to start the reformat again:
•
Press CTRL
&
0 (zero)
•
Press CTRL
&
6
More About Find and Replace
Other options available for find and replace are II of times and search backwards.
Search backwards tells the 820-11 to find and replace the text between the cursor
position and the beginning of the document file only. (Remember, the option replace
in entire file is normally used to act on the whole file, regardless of the cursor
position.)
The II of times option can be used to tell the 820-II to make the replacement a
certain number of times. For instance, you would use this if you wanted to replace
only the first three occurrences of a word in the file. By typing the number 3 in the
options, the find and replace action will stop after it has found the first three
occurrences.
