search and replace in all files at the same time.)

press the space bar to enable or disable each option. When the option is
selected, you'll see * between the parentheses next to that option.
• Whole word searches for complete words only. If you don't select this
option, NEO searches for characters that may be part of a longer word
or part of more than one word (for example, searching for hat would
find that, chat, and hatchet).
• Match case finds text that exactly matches the capitalization of the
text you typed in the Find field.
• Replace all specifies that you want to replace all occurrences within
the file.
5. Press enter to begin the search. When AlphaWord Plus finds the text, it
will show you the first occurrence with options listed to the right as in the
example below.
6. Do one of the following:
• Type R to replace the found text with the replacement text.
• Type S to skip that occurrence of the found text and leave it as is.
