Find and Replace Text
Sometimes, you may need to update a certain word throughout your text. Rather than going one by one, we can change them all at once and save ourselves lots of time.
Select anywhere in the page. In the menu go to edit>replace>
The dialog box should appear:
- In the ‘Find What’ text box put whatever it is that you want to find
- In the ‘Replace with’ text box put the new word you want to replace it with.
Notice in the selections towards the bottom of the page that there are various options.
Find where:
- All pages (meaning entire website)
- Selected Pages (only those selected in the Folder Browser window)
- Current Page (the page that is open)
Some of the other options match case (if selected will take upper and lower case into consideration)
Whole words only (will find only whole words that maybe part of an acronym you may be looking for)
Find and replace can be used for so many things other than just replacing words. It can replace links, javascript, and other snippets. Basically anything that can be copied and pasted can be found and replaced.
