===== Finding and replacing text =====
 +
Writer has two ways to find text within a document: the Find toolbar for fast searching and the Find & Replace dialog. If the Find toolbar is not visible, you can display it by choosing '''View > Toolbars > Find from the Menu bar''' or by pressing '''Ctrl+F'''
 +
 +
'''Using the Find toolbar'''
 +
* To use the Find toolbar, click in the text input box and type your search text, then press Enter to find the next occurrence of that term from the current cursor position. Click the Find Next or Find Previous buttons as needed.
 +
* Click the Find All button to select all instances of the search term within the document.

'''Using the Find & Replace dialog'''
 +
 +
To display the Find & Replace dialog, use the keyboard shortcut '''Ctrl+H''', or choose '''Edit > Find & Replace''' from the Menu bar
 +
Use the Find & Replace dialog:
 +
* Type the text you want to find in the Find box.
 +
* To replace the text with different text, type the new text in the Replace box.
 +
* You can select various options, such as matching the case or matching whole words only. The other options include searching only in selected text, searching from the current cursor position backwards toward the beginning of the document, searching for similar words, and searching in comments.
 +
* When you have set up your search, click Find Next. As the document view moves to each found instance, replace the text by clicking Replace.
