How do I find and replace text?

Find & Replace searches the whole publication: every page, every text box, table cells, and master pages (headers and footers). It’s the quick way to change a date, a name or a phone number everywhere it appears.

Find a word

1. Click Home›, then Find, or press ⌘FCtrl+F or F3.
2. Type the word or phrase in Find.
3. The field shows how many there are, such as 1 of 3. Press ↩Enter or click the › arrow to go to the next match, and ‹ for the previous one.

Korva turns to the page with the match and highlights it in yellow. The panel stays open beside the page, so you can still see and click the page.

Replace text

1. Click Home›, then Replace, or press ⌃HCtrl+H. On a Mac this is the Control key, because ⌘H hides the app.
2. Type the text to look for in Find and the new text in Replace.
3. Choose one:
   • Replace changes the highlighted match and moves to the next one.
   • Replace all changes every match. The button shows how many, such as Replace all 3.
4. Click Close when you’re done.

To undo a Replace all, press ⌘ZCtrl+Z once. It undoes all the replacements together.

Narrow the search

• Match case finds only text with the same capitals: “May” but not “may”.
• Whole words skips matches inside longer words: “art” but not “party”.
