Search and Replace Functions
To search for the needed characters, words or phrases used in the current spreadsheet, click the
icon situated at the left sidebar.
The Search and Replace window will open:
- Type in your inquiry into the corresponding data entry field.
- Specify search options checking the necessary boxes below the data entry field:
- Case sensitive - is used to find only the occurrences typed in the same case as your inquiry (e.g. if your inquiry is 'Editor' and this option is selected, such words as 'editor' or 'EDITOR' etc. will not be found).
- Whole words only - is used to find only the occurrences that are the complete words, not parts of another word (e.g. if your inquiry is 'edit' and this option is selected, such words as 'editor' or 'editing' etc. will not be found).
- Click one of the arrow buttons on the right.
The search will be performed either towards the beginning of the worksheet (if you click the
button) or towards the end of the worksheet (if you click the
button) from the current position.
The first occurrence of the required characters in the selected direction will be highlighted. If it is not the word you are looking for, click the selected button again to find the next occurrence of the characters you entered.
To replace one or more occurrences of the found characters click the Replace button below the Search buttons. The Search and Replace window will change:
- Type in the replacement text into the bottom data entry field.
- Click the Replace button to replace the currently selected occurrence or the Replace All button to replace all the found occurrences.
