Find and replace text
1 Do one of the following:
• Select the layer containing the text you want to find and replace. Place the insertion point at the beginning of the
text you want to search.
• Select a nontype layer if you have more than one text layer and you want to search all layers in the document.
Note: In the Layers palette, make sure the text layers you want to search are visible and unlocked. The Find And Replace
Text command does not check spelling in hidden or locked layers.
2 Choose Edit > Find And Replace Text.
3 In the Find What box, type or paste the text you want to find. To change the text, type the new text in the Change
To text box.
4 Select one or more options to refine your search.
Search All Layers Searches all layers in a document. This option is available when a nontype layer is selected in the
Layers palette.
Forward Searches forward from an insertion point in the text. Deselect this option to search all the text in a layer,
regardless of where the insertion point is placed.
Case Sensitive Searches for a word or words that exactly match the case of the text in the Find What text box. For
example, with the Case Sensitive option selected, a search for “PrePress” does not find “Prepress” or “PREPRESS.”
Whole Word Only Disregards the search text if it is embedded in a larger word. For example, if you are searching for
“any” as a whole word, “many” is disregarded.
5 Click Find Next to begin the search.
6 Click one of the following buttons.
Change Replaces the found text with the revised text. To repeat the search, select Find Next.
Change All Searches for and replaces all occurrences of the found text.
Change/Find Replaces the found text with the revised text, and then searches for the next occurrence.
Assign a language for text
Photoshop uses language dictionaries to check hyphenation. Language dictionaries are also used to check spelling.
Each dictionary contains hundreds of thousands of words with standard syllable breaks. You can assign a language
to an entire document or apply a language to selected text.
