5 Select “Match case” if you only want to find instances of the text with the same
capitalization that you specified in the Find field; otherwise, the search will not take
capitalization into account.

separate word; otherwise, results will include instances of this text that appear within
words.

from the Style pop-up menu.

 Click Next or Previous to highlight the next or previous instance of the text.
Continue clicking Next or Previous until you locate the instance you are looking for.
 Click Replace to replace the highlighted instance of the text with the new text, and
then click Next or Previous to find the next instance.
 Click Replace & Find to replace the highlighted instance of the text and find the next
one.
 Click Replace All to replace all instances of the text with the new word or phrase.
10 To close the Find & Replace window when you are finished, click the Close button in
the upper-left corner.
If you frequently use the Find & Replace window, you can add the Find button to the
Pages toolbar to make it available with a single click. To learn about customizing the
toolbar, see “The Toolbar” on page 22.
Checking Spelling as You Work
Pages uses the Mac OS X spell-checker to catch spelling errors in your document. You
can set the spell-checker to flag spelling errors as you type, or you can check your
entire document or selected text at any time.
To flag misspelled words as you type:
m Choose Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling as You Type.
As you type, misspelled words appear with a red dashed line beneath them. If you’re
not sure how to spell the word, you can see a list of possible spellings.
