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

Re: Find and replace
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

Re: Find and replace
To be fair, it is a recently-introoduced functionality that is easily missed.
But it works!
But it works!
All best,

Re: Find and replace
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

Re: Find and replace
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.
