Options
- Down
Searches downward from the selected paragraph. If no paragraph is selected, searches from the top of the chapter.
- Up
Searches upward from the selected paragraph. If no paragraph is selected, searches from the bottom of the chapter.
- Case Sensitive
If you select this option, only matches with the same uppercase and lowercase letters are found.
- Change the Korean Postposition
When you find and replace in a Korean document, Korean postpositions (particles) are also changed. This option appears only in Korean documents.
- Find and replace in all chapters.
Finds the search term in all chapters of the document and shows the number of matches in each chapter. This option appears only in book documents.
Find also finds search terms in reference links, so you can check every place in the document where the term you want to replace is used.
However, the text of a reference link follows the title of the linked chapter, so you cannot replace it. If you run Replace on a reference link, a message tells you that it cannot be replaced, and you can continue on to the next match. When you run "Replace All," search terms in reference links are left as is and only the rest are replaced. However, reference links whose text you entered yourself with "Preserve link text" do not follow the chapter title, so they can be replaced.
To change the text of a reference link, change the title of the linked chapter. When you change the title, all reference links that point to that chapter are updated automatically.
You cannot use Find and Replace while a paragraph editing window is open. Search terms are found in text paragraphs, table paragraphs, and image paragraph titles, but not in object paragraphs. If you replace with the Replace field left empty, a “Replace with Empty String?” confirmation dialog appears.
Changing Korean Postpositions
When you find and replace in a Korean document, select “1Change the Korean Postposition” to also change the postpositions (particles) to match the last letter of the word.
The following example applies the Change the Korean Postposition option.
1
Enter ‘링크’ (link) in the Find field and ‘버튼’ (button) in the Replace field, and then click the button.
2
Select “Change the Korean Postposition” and click the button. Check that ‘링크를’ has changed to ‘버튼을’.
For numbers, the postposition is also changed depending on whether the pronunciation of the number ends in a final consonant.
The postpositions 이/가, 은/는, 을/를, 와/과, and 로/으로 are changed. However, ‘으로’ is not changed to ‘로’.
