JOIN, SPLIT AND INDENT PARAGRAPHS
|
|
In order to join or split paragraphs you must be able to insert and delete chara
|
|
|
|
These are the steps to follow to JOIN PARAGRAPHS:
|
|
1. Place the cursor on the first letter of the bottom paragraph.

|
|
|

Moving blocks of text is very easy. However, it will move only 250 characters a
|
|
|
|
1. Move the cursor to the space immediately after the last
|
|

FIND; FIND and REPLACE
|
|
|
|
These are helpful and important advanced features. You will probably not use th
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to use the find and replace feature:
|
|
|
|
1) FIND -- to quickly search out words and phrases in a document.
|
|
|
|
2) FIND and REPLACE -- manual
|
|
|
|
3) FIND and REPLACE -- automatic
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIND a WORD or PHRASE:
|
|
1. Move to the <B>eginning of the file.
|
|
|
|
2. Type the <F>ind command.
|
|
|
|
3. At the prompt at the bottom of the screen, type a delimiter
|
|
(an exclamation mark, slash, etc.; see below)
|
|
|
|
4. Write the string (word or phrase) you would like to find
|
|
|
|
5. Enter the delimiter again.
|
|
|
|
6. Press the RETURN key.
|
|
|
|
In other words, if you were looking for the word 'Apple', you
|
|
would type
|
|
<F>ind: !Apple! RETURN
|
|
|
|
7. The program will scan the file and will stop at the first
|
|
occurrence of that string. If you want to find another
|
|
occurrence of the string, press the RETURN key. Press any
|
|
other key to stop.

MANUAL FIND AND REPLACE
|
|
|
|
FIND AND REPLACE allows you to quickly and easily make numerous identical change
|
|
|
|
Here are the steps for a manual find and replace:
|
|
|
|
1. Move to the <B>eginning of the file
|
|
|
|
2. Type the <F>ind command
|
|
|
|
3. Type a delimiter after the prompt (See below for legal
|
|
delimiters).
|
|
|
|
4. Enter the string (word or phrase) you want to find.
|
|
|
|
5. Enter the delimiter again.
|
|
|
|
6. Enter the new string.
|
|
|
|
7. Enter the final delimiter.
|
|
|
|
8. Press the RETURN key.
|
|
|
|
Example: <F>ind !Aple!Apple!
|
|
|
|
FrEd will scan the file from the cursor forward. When it finds the next occurre
|
|
|
|
[F]ind: RETURN=Proceed / Y=Replace
|
|
|
|
9. Press either:
|
|
|
|
a)RETURN to continue the search without replacing the search string.
|
|
|
|
b)Y to replace the search string with the new string. After the change is made
|
|
[F]ind: RETURN=Proceed
|
|
Press either:
|
|
RETURN to continue the search.
|
|
ANY OTHER KEY to stop the search.
|
|
|
|
The ESC key can always be pressed to terminate the FIND operation.
|
|

The steps to follow are written out in the previous section. The difference is

|
|
|
|
|
Be careful when using the automatic FIND and REPLACE.
|
|
|
|
The CASE of the letters will make a difference. If you ask for a search for the

|
|
|
The SPACES will make a difference. If you ask for a replacement of the word HE
|
|
HE will become SHE
|
|
THEY will become TSHEY
|
|
THEM will become TSHEM
|
|
THERE will become TSHERE, etc.
|
|
You can avoid this problem by using spaces in your search string. (! HE ! SHE
|
|
|
|
|
|
DELETING WITH FIND AND REPLACE
|
|
|
|
You may also use find and replace to delete up to 255 characters. 1. Mark the be
|
|
with a marker, such as %% or $$. Refer to the next section
|
|
for information on the special search symbols.
|
|
|
|
2. Move the cursor so it is above the section to be deleted.
|
|
|
|
3. Type the <F>ind command.
|
