Using Normal Find

Finding and Replacing Text

“AnyText” (Capitalized, UPPERCASE or not; of any color or size, and almost any attribute), so
long as it is emphatic. Leaving all other text untouched, the Replace expression matches the
case and attributes already there, and has two attributes associated with it, which it adds:
Underline and 14 point.

It may be easier to reformat a large multipart selection than it is to concoct the proper Find/Replace
expression. After finding all the Emphatic text, you could use the commands of the menus and the
tags on the Statusbar to remove one or more styles and apply new ones.

!

Find/Replace only matches text that is visible in the current document view. To limit a Replace All
action from changing text in the headers/footers and/or footnotes/endnotes, temporarily hide these
portions of the document by choosing the menu command View > Draft View.

Reusing find and/or replace expressions

Nisus Writer Pro makes it easy for you to reuse recent find and replace expressions in your
documents. These expressions are automatically stored in the Recent Find and Recent Replace
sets of the Gear menu in the Find/Replace window and in the PowerFind Browser as explained in
detail on page 303.

!

Nisus Writer Pro stores recent expressions until you quit the application.
