Find and replace

Edit → Find and replace opens a window with that title. Ctrl+F and Ctrl+H do the same thing (Cmd on a Mac).

The window

• Find — the placeholder is “Search in document.”
• Replace with — the placeholder is “Replacement text.”
• Match case — a checkbox. There is no “whole word” option, and there is no switch for notes versus slides. The search walks the text of the document you are editing.
• Find next — moves to the next hit.
• Replace — replaces the selected hit. If nothing is selected, the window says “Select a match to replace.”
• Replace all — replaces every hit.

The count under the fields reads 1 match, 3 matches, or No matches found. An empty Find box says “Enter text to find.” After a replace, it says Replaced. or “Replaced 4 matches.”

What it will not find

It searches the written document. It does not open every slide’s setup window and rewrite a chart title that lives only inside that window. If a word is on the slide as part of the document text, it is in the search. If you need a different passage on a verse slide, open that slide and change the reference.

Plans

Find and replace is on every plan.
