Searching for Text
In addition to using the cursor keys to move throughout your text, you can find any
position in your file quickly by using the search function.
The word processor allows you to automatically scan the document for all
occurrences of a specific piece of text (called a “string”) and, at your option, replace
all or some of those occurrences with another string, (See “Search and Replace” on
page 49.)
A string may be up to 63 characters long, and may include “dead” and superimposed
characters, (See “Defining a Search String” on page 48.)
