AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual

If you leave the Change to box empty, clicking any change button deletes the
text that is found.

Once you close the Find/Change dialog box, you can find the text for which you
last searched by choosing Find/Change from the Edit menu and then Find Again.

Finding special characters

You can search for special formatting characters, such as return characters,
tab characters, and symbols for column breaks, the same way you search for
regular text. You can also search for special text such as dates, times, and
page numbers.

To find these characters, you enter special codes in the Find box in the
Find/Change dialog box. All of these codes are listed in onscreen Help and
on the Quick Reference Guide. You can also copy and then paste special
characters from your document into the Find box in the Find/Change dialog
box.

Tip

To show or hide formatting characters, click

on the Default button

bar, or type Ctrl+; (semicolon). See “Showing formatting characters” on
page 4-6 for more information.

To delete a selected formatting character or replace it with another
formatting character, use the Find/Change dialog box the same way as you
do with text.

Using writing tools

AppleWorks provides spell checking, thesaurus, and hyphenation services to
help you polish your writing. These are available in all AppleWorks
documents except communications.
