You can find and replace text using standard word-processing search procedures in the
Find Text dialog box. To find and replace type attributes, you use the Find & Replace
Graphics feature; see "Selecting, finding, and replacing type attributes" on page 340.
With the Find Text dialog box, you can locate and replace or delete any character,
word, phrase, or special character in a document. You can find and replace a
character string up to 255 characters long. You can also convert special
characters—for instance, you can replace all double hyphens with em dashes.

You can apply precise type specifications to characters, lines of text, paragraphs,
and entire text blocks using several different features: the Text toolbar; the Text
menu and its submenus; the Text Character inspector, tabbed with the Text
inspector; and in Windows, the Text context menu.
The Text toolbar contains buttons for many common type adjustments. To apply
an attribute, you choose an option from the pop-up menus or click a button. You
can use the Text toolbar to adjust the font, size, type style, leading, alignment, and
baseline shift; attach a path to text or run text around a path, flow text within a
path, or convert text to paths; open the Text Editor; check spelling; or find and
replace text.
