Finding information
There may be times when you want to view, update, or print a specific group
of records. To find information in a database, you can search for particular
text, create a find request to search for records that meet your criteria, or
write a formula to select records that match the formula’s result.
Finding text
To find text within a field, choose Find/Change from the Edit menu. For more
information about finding and changing text, see “Finding and changing
text” on page 4-27.
Finding records with a find request
Create a find request to find and display only the records that satisfy the
search criteria that you set. After the search, AppleWorks displays the results
in Browse mode.
To create a find request, choose Find from the Layout menu, type or select the
search criteria in the find request, and then click Find.
