- [Voiceover] When you're editing text
and you find yourself making a series
of repetitive corrections, you should consider
using "Find/Change."
It can do in seconds what would take you
minutes, hours or even days to do manually.
So, let's check it out.
First, let's zoom in to see our text more clearly.
I'll just choose "View-200%,"
and then hold the "option" or "alt" key, and pan over.
To show the "Find/Change" dialogue box,
go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Find/Change",
or press the keyboard shortcut, "command" or "control" F.
On the left side of the dialogue box,
you tell QuarkXPress what to look for,
and on the right side you tell it what to change to.
And underneath are some controls for defining
the scope of the search.
QuarkXPress will limit the search to just the current story
unless you select "layout" here.
You can also tell it to include locked content,
limit the search to whole words,
to ignore case or not,
and to ignore formatting attributes,
as well as searching and footnotes.
Note how the bottom half of the dialogue box will close up
when you exclude attributes.
So if you're wondering where all those controls went,
just un-check this box, and they'll come back.
Now with text selected, we can, of course,
search for a specific term, so I can find instances
of the word "brie," by typing in "B-R-I-E",
and clicking find next will highlight
the next found instance of the word "brie."
Pressing "return" or "enter" will also jump you ahead
to the next found instance.
Holding the "option" or "alt" key will change "Find Next"
into "Find First" so I can find
the first instance of my search term.
And you can make your text searches even more flexible
by including wild cards into your search term.
To enter a wild card in your search term,
press "Command-Shift-?"
here on the Mac,
or "Control-Shift-?"
on Windows.
So I could search for both the English
and the French versions of the word "blue"
by entering in "bl" and then two wild cards:
"Command-Shift-?" "Command-Shift-?"
I'll also hold down "option"
and click "Find First."
And I'll just pan over to see what it found.
Now what it found, actually, are "b-l-i-s"
in the word "published," and that's because
we didn't select "Whole Word" in the dialogue box.
So let's select that, and then click "Find Next."
Now it found "blue," click "Find Next" again,
another instance of "blue."
"Blue."
And now we get to the French term "bleu."
And again, another instance of it.
So, to make a change, I can specify
text or formatting on the right-hand side.
So I could make all instances of "blue" and "bleu"
actually be blue by selecting a color.
And I'll choose "Blue 3."
I'll make sure the check box for "Text"
at the top is unchecked.
This way, QuarkXPress will leave the content alone
and just change the formatting.
Note that this is very different from checking this checkbox
and leaving it empty right here.
In that case, what you're doing is,
you're telling QuarkXPress to search for some text
and replace it with no text.
In effect, "Find/Change" is actually "Find/Delete."
So, that's a great way of getting rid of text you don't want
very quickly, but, just be sure to un-check this box
if all you want to do is change formatting.
So now with our wild card term and our color selected,
I can click "Change" to apply the blue color.
"Find Next."
Then I can do "Change then Find"
to jump immediately to the next match,
or if I know I want to change all matches,
I can just click "Change All."
And QuarkXPress tells me that it changed ten instances.
Another cool thing you can do is deselect the text option
and just look for formatting.
So un-check that checkbox,
and I'll check the checkbox for "Style Sheet."
I can pick a particluar style sheet, like "H1."
I'll deselect that "Change to Color,"
and I can click "Find Next" to find my next "H1."
I can also search for any combination of attributes,
like fonts, type size, color, type style.
Or I have things like bold, italics, underlines,
all caps, small caps, superscript, subscript and so on.
And I can also search for characters
where a particular language has been specified.
And language is what QuarkXPress uses to spell check
and hyphenate text.
You can also search for ligatures,
and if you're using open-type fonts,
you can search for specific open-type features.
When you're done with the "Find/Change" window,
you can click the "close" button at the top,
or use the keyboard shortcut
"Command-Option-F" on the Mac
or "Control-Alt-F" on Windows.
And lastly, I want to mention that QuarkXPress
also has a separate "Find/Change" feature
for working with items.
You can find it in the "Edit" menu right underneath
the "Text Find/Change".
As you can see, you can really search for all kinds of
combinations of attributes of boxes, box colors,
frames,
lines,
pictures
and there's a "Text" tab, where you can search
for things like text set in a certain number of columns,
or with a certain alignment, and so on.
You can also limit the search to certain types of items
like text boxes, picture boxes,
or no-content boxes, or lines.
So let's run a quick "Find/Change" on an item.
I know in this layout there are a few text boxes
that mistakenly got filled with white,
and I want all my text boxes
to have a box color of "none".
That way, I could put images on a layer underneath
the text, and the images would show through.
And this would be really hard to spot just by looking
at the pages, but Find/Change can make easy work of it.
So I'll just go to "Box Color."
I'll say "Find Color-White,"
change to color "none," limit the search to text boxes,
click "Find Next" and then "Change All."
And QuarkXPress tells me that three boxes were changed.
So in this movie, we looked
at the Find/Change features in QuarkXPress,
both for text and for items.
These are very powerful features
for making large-scale changes quickly.
And with all the controls for setting search options,
you can make your Find/Changes very narrow and specific,
or very broad.
It's up to you and what you need to get done.
