Find and replace text

The Find and Replace pane looks for words in your whole publication and can swap them for other words. It opens on the right side of the window.

Find text

1. Press Ctrl+F, or click Home > Editing > Find.
2. Type the words you want in Find what.
3. Click Find Next, or press Enter.

JeffPub jumps to the next match, changes pages if it has to, and selects the words. Click Find Next again for the one after that. When it reaches the end, it starts over from the beginning. If there is no match at all, the pane tells you.

JeffPub searches every text box, shape, and table, on every page and every master page. A master page is a background page whose items show on the pages that use it.

Replace text

1. Press Ctrl+H, or click Home > Editing > Replace.
2. Type the words to look for in Find what and the new words in Replace with.
3. Click Find Next to see the first match.
4. Click Replace to swap it and move on to the next match. Or click Find Next to leave it alone and move on.

To change every match at once, click Replace All. The pane tells you how many replacements it made. If it was a mistake, click Undo at the top of the window. One undo takes back the whole Replace All.

If you click Replace before any match is selected, JeffPub only finds the first match. Click Replace again to swap it.

Narrow the search

Check these boxes under Replace with:

• Match case finds "Fall" but not "fall".
• Find whole words only finds "art" but not "party".
• Search up looks backward from where you are, toward the start.

Replace All ignores Search up and always covers the whole publication.
