Replacing text in a document

You can find and then replace text in your document using the Replace command. Replace searches all text areas in a diagram, mind map or outline for the specified text and then lets you replace that text with new text. In Diagram or Map View, Replace searches through all symbol text (including notes text and link text) currently displayed on the screen. In Outline View, all text is searched whether hidden or not.

To replace text:

1.Click where you want to start the search.

2.On the Tools menu, choose Replace.

3.In the Find What box, type the characters, word or phrase you want to find and replace.

4.In the Replace With box, type the characters, word or phrase you want to replace the search text.

5.Select search options.

Match Whole Word Only: The Match Whole Word Only option finds whole words only. When selected, Inspiration will not find occurrences of the search text inside other words. It will only search for occurrences of the whole word.

Match Case: The Match Case option finds only those occurrences of the search text that exactly match the upper and lowercase letters you specify. When deselected, Inspiration finds all occurrences of the search text, ignoring the case of the letters.

6.Click Find Next to begin the search.

Inspiration looks through the text, stops at each occurrence of the search text, and selects it.
