Index

General pane) is enabled, pages are inserted (when you import text into an automatic

text box) as necessary to contain the text.

To export text, first either place the text insertion point in a text box (if you want to

save all of the text in that box) or select the text you want to export. Then choose

File > Save Text, choose an option from the Format pop-up menu, enter a name,

choose a location, and then click Save.

To export in .docx format, choose Word Document from the Format drop-down

menu.

Importing and exporting text with Unicode options

You can specify an encoding type when importing text and exporting text. The

encoding type specifies the byte sequence used to represent each glyph in text.The

options work as follows:

• The Import dialog box includes an Encoding drop-down menu when a plain text

or "XPress Tags" text file is selected. The software attempts to determine the

encoding of selected text files and apply an appropriate encoding type. You can,

however, choose a different option for text.

• The Save Text dialog box provides an Encoding drop-down menu when you're

exporting text in plain text or "XPress Tags" format.

• The Convert Quotes option continues to convert straight quotes to typesetter's

quotation marks and double hyphens to em dashes.

Finding and changing text

The Find/Change palette (Edit menu) lets you perform standard search-and-replace

operations. In addition, you can use this palette to:

• Find and change using wild card characters: Command+Shift+?/Ctrl+Shift+?

• Find and change text formatting, including style sheet, font, size, color, and type

style (including OpenType styles)

• Find and change based on breaking or non-breaking spaces/dashes/hyphens within

the text (i.e. you can search for all breaking spaces and replace them with

non-breaking spaces.)

• Constrain find/change operations to a single story, or to an entire layout

• Find and change based on character language (see "Applying a character language")

• Find and change ligatures

• Find and change special characters (see "Special character codes")

• Find and change emphasis marks (in East Asian configuration)

• Search in Locked Content

• Find and change text in Footnotes/ Endnotes. To enable Search in Footnote, you

must first select Layout. When the Search In Footnotes option is checked, the
