8 . Resume normal word processor operation or go back to step (1) to search for
another string—or for the same string again. The search string remains in
memory until you define another or turn the power off.
Defining a Search String
• The 63-character limit refers to the number of characters you see on the screen.
An accented character (made with a dead key) or superimposed characters
(made with a permanent backspace) count as a single character even if it takes
two or more keystrokes to type.
• The search function distinguishes between upper and lower case letters. For
example, if you specify “ALPHA”, it will not stop at “alpha” or “Alpha”.
• Each space that you type (with SPACE BAR) in the string or in the text counts as
one character.
• The string input area initially appears as a continuous underline. Everything
before the trailing underline ie considered part of the string. The string shown
below, for example, is five characters long because it ends with two spaces.

The search function stops at every string that matches the specified string—even
if the match is inside a word. If the specified string is “at”, it stops at “at” of “hat”,
“attention”, etc. If you wish to search only for the word “at”, specify “_at_”, leaving
a space on each side of the word.
The search function ignores “soft spaces" that are added by the justify function
and hyphens other than permanent ones. If “word processor” is the specified
string, the function will stop at “word processor” if there is an extra space
inserted by the justify function and at “word pro-cessor if the hyphen was typed
in the hot zone.
The search string cannot contain styles such as bold, underline, subscript, or
superscripts because the search function ignores them. If you specify “A2”, it
stops at “A2”, “A^”, “A 2 ” and ail combinations with bold and underline as well.
Pressing CANCEL during string input stops the search function, but the string
remains in memory until you define another, or turn the power off.
