Searching for a Specific Word Used Several Times

If you are searching for a specific occurrence of a word or phrase that

appears several times in the text, but only wish to edit one specific

instance of it, you should clearly identify the location. For example,

when searching the text below to delete the word “file” only when it

appears with the word “schedule,” you would type “schedule file.”

There are two files. There is a memo file, and there

is a schedule file. Each file contains specific

information.

The cursor will move only to the word “file” when the word

“schedule” precedes it.

NOTE: If you press Code + Next (N) when search is not

activated, the display prompts: ERROR.
