Notes

  • If you are unsure of whether the string you are searching for is contained in a text paragraph, a cell or a calculation, you must repeat the search for each. CaseView does not allow you to search through all components simultaneously.
  • Not all options are available at all times, depending on the current location within the document. For example, when editing a Header, the option to find Attached Header is not available.

Search

Use the drop-down list to set the direction and scope of the search.

All

Searches the entire document.

Up or Down

In Selection

If part of the document is highlighted, this option will be available to limit the find and replace operation to within the confines of the selected content.

Whole Words only

Finds only those occurrences that are whole words, and not part of a larger word. If you are unsure of whether the word is compounded with another word, leave this box cleared.
