Find

Select menu: Edit | Find

The dialog lets you search for characters or words in the current text or spreadsheet. You can match uppercase and lowercase letters and search forward or backward from the insertion point. You can also choose to match whole words only. Additional options are available for a spreadsheet where you can search down columns or across rows and continuing onto other sheets within a spreadsheet book.

The text that is searched will be within the text window or spreadsheet that had focus before activating this dialog.

Find what

The characters or word to look for.

Match whole word only

When selected for a text window the text within the Find what box will only match with a separate word (i.e. text surrounded by separators such as a space, line break, comma or some other punctuation). Similarly, when this option is selected for a spreadsheet the text must match the contents of a complete cell.

Match case

When selected the search is case sensitive distinguishing between uppercase and lowercase characters.

Wrap at end of file/selection/sheet/book

When selected, a search will continue from the start of the file/selection/sheet or book when it reaches the end of the file.
