Find and replace

Post by Davide78 »

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to run a find and replace function:
- On the text of comments and notes
- On the text of the document (after editing content, text)

Thank you in advance

Hello Davide78,

We do have a Find And Replace now and I just tested it - it seems to work for both base content as well as text inside the pop-up notes for annotations.

Use Ctrl + F to open the Find box, and then click the triangle pointing down on the left:

And that would open the replace field:

Kind regards,
Stefan

To be fair, it is a recently-introoduced functionality that is easily missed.

But it works!
All best,

Hello Davide78,

You can check your current version under Help -> About, and if it is not build 386 (the current latest) you can consider an update.
If you have a license key with active maintenance - the upgrade would be free, and if your maintenance period has ended - you can consider renewing/extending your maintenance plan. Please make sure you do not post any part of your license key here in the forums!

Kind regards,
Stefan

If you have an old version, this tool works on comments and notes: viewtopic.php?t=41797

You'll need the new version to find/replace on document content, though.
