Once you close the Find/Change dialog box, you can find the text for which you
last searched by choosing Find/Change from the Edit menu and then Find Again.
Finding special characters
You can search for special formatting characters, such as return characters,
tab characters, and symbols for column breaks, the same way you search for
regular text. You can also search for special text such as dates, times, and
page numbers.
To find these characters, you enter special codes in the Find box in the Find/
Change dialog box. All of these codes are listed in onscreen Help and on the
Quick Reference Guide. You can also copy and then paste special characters
from your document into the Find box in the Find/Change dialog box.
Tip To show or hide formatting characters, click on the Default button
bar, or type 2-; (semicolon). See “Showing formatting characters” on
page 4-6 for more information.
To delete a selected formatting character or replace it with another
formatting character, use the Find/Change dialog box the same way as you
do with text.
