Designing and Crafting Basic Pages
When you replace text in the Document window, it is replaced regardless of its formatting. For
example, suppose you have the following paragraph:
Mary’s accusation reminded Jon of studying synchrones in high school. Synchrones, he
recalled, were graphs in which the lines constantly approached zero, but never made it.
“Yeah,” he thought, “That’s me, all right. I’m one big synchrone.”
Upon discovering that synchrone should actually be asymptote, you could use the Find and Replace
feature to replace all the plain, italic, and bold versions of the synchrone text simultaneously.
It’s possible to alter formatting as well—to change all the formatting to bold only, for
example—but for that you need to perform your Find and Replace operations on the
underlying code, as discussed in the following section.
Follow these steps to use Dreamweaver’s Replace feature in the Document window:
1. Choose Edit ➪ Find and Replace or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F (Command+F).
2. In the Find and Replace dialog box, make sure that Text is the selected Search option and
then, in the text field next to the Search option, type the word or phrase you’re looking for.
You can also copy and paste text from the Document window into the Search field.
3. In the Replace With text field, type the substitute text.
