Searching Within a Document

Searching within a document can help you identify specific text in a document. This search can be performed on an open document or the document preview.

 

The document search tool is very literal - you need to enterthe exact word you are looking for.  Searching within a document does not accommodate quotation marks or wildcards.

Search within a document using the Preview Pane:

  1. Enter your search query in the Search Text box. Note: this search is very literal, and can find only one word or phrase at a time. Searching within a document does not accommodate quotation marks or wildcards.
  2. Click the binocular icon or press Enter on your keyboard to identify matches.
  3. Click the green forward or backward buttons to move to the next or previous page containing a match.

  4.  The current match will be highlighted in Orange and other matches will be highlighted in bright green.
