Text Menu
Find

Lets you search for a specified character, word, phrase, style, or type characteristic in the current selection, the current text block, a chain of linked text blocks, or your entire document. You can type any text, up to 255 characters. To find a question mark, use the special symbol described below. Type the text, including punctuation, exactly as you want to search for it. If you select text before you choose the Find command, the selected text appears in the Find What text box. If RSG finds what you specified, the appropriate page appears, with the found item selected.
You can use special symbols to find tabs, returns, question marks, and other characters that you can't type or that are invisible. The following table contains the special symbols:

You can also search using the question mark (?) wild card. When you enter a question mark in the search text, RSG matches with any character at that position.

  • Look For Whole Word restricts the search to words that are surrounded by spaces or punctuation. If you don't check this option, RSG finds your item even if it is embedded in other words.

  • Match Upper/Lowercase restricts the search to words that match the capitalization of the word in the Find What text area. If you don't check this option, RSG finds any occurrences, capitalized or not.

  • Stylesheet restricts the search to words formatted with a stylesheet. Choose the stylesheet from the choices that appear. Search with Stylesheet set to None to find the text regardless of the stylesheet applied to it. To search for a stylesheet without specifying a particular word or phrase, leave the Find What text area blank and choose the required stylesheet.

  • Use Format lets you search for words with the specified type characteristics. Specify the required type style, font, and type size in the dialog box. Unspecified options are not used in the search. To find occurrences of a type format without specifying a particular word or phrase, leave Find What blank and specify the required format.

  • Limit Search To restricts the search to words in the current selection, block, chain, or document. You must have selected text.
