capitalization that you specified in the Find field; otherwise, the search will not take

capitalization into account.

 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 automatically replace all the instances of the word at once

without your review. To undo this operation, choose Edit > Undo Text Replacement.

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 30.

Finding and Listing All Occurrences of a Word or Phrase at Once

You can generate a list of all occurrences of a specific word or phrase (including

placeholder text) in your document. If you select a search result in the list, the page

containing the matching text is displayed in the main viewing area, and the text is

highlighted.

After selecting an item in the search results list, double-click it or press Return or Enter

to select the matching text and edit it in the main view.
