hello:

I'm using the Find/ Replace and am *NOT* checking the "match case" option.
However, the replaced text is in all uppercase. How can this be turned off? I
want the replaced text to appear as entered.

Thanks, Germaine
 
Check the "match case" option, and enter the "Replace with" text
in lower case. But if the "Find what" text appears in the
document in different cases (upper case, lower case, and title
case), then you'll have to run find/replace several times to
replace all of the case variations in the "Find what" text.
 
Replace with ^& (found text)

Make sure you are not applying formatting to the "Replace with" text (it
will show under the box if any is applied). Put your cursor in the box and
press "No Formatting" if it is not greyed out.
 
Hi Graham:

I'm not sure I understand your answer. I prepended this to the "find what"
text and got an error. So then I prepended this to the "Replace with" text
and it appended the text to the exisitng text. But sounds like there is
something similar but close to this?

^& as a replace string puts back the found text - however on re-reading your
question this may not be what you required.
