Find and Replace Question

One of the options under special for the Replace function
says "Find What Text." What does this do?

Thanks!

It includes the text you are searching for from the Find What textbox in the
Replace With text. So for instance (the code for Find What Text is ^?):

Find What: "doc"
Replace With: "^?tor"

replaces "doc" with "doctor"

This code is especially useful when you want to find certain text and
replace it with the same text in a different format (e.g., bold, different
font color, etc.).
