Finding and replacing
The Find and Replace feature helps you search for and replace elements, such as text, URLs,
fonts, and colors. Find and Replace can search the current document or multiple files.
Find and Replace works only in Fireworks PNG files or in files containing vector objects, such as
FreeHand, uncompressed CorelDraw, and Illustrator files.
