If the document is opened in the View mode, you can only search for data in the document (without replacement).

To open the Find and Replace pane in a document, do one of the following:

2.If necessary, check the required Filters:

•Match whole words only: Find only whole words/values, not data that is part of other words/values.

•Match case when searching: Perform the search taking into account uppercase and lowercase letters in the searched text.

•Match case when replacing: Perform the replacement taking into account the uppercase and lowercase letters in the found text. Example: You need to replace the word agreement with the word contract in the text of the document. In this case, the word agreement can be written with both lowercase and uppercase letters (for example, at the beginning of a sentence). Select the Match case when replacing check box so that the word agreement with a lowercase letter is replaced by the word contract with a lowercase letter, and the word Agreement with a capital letter is replaced by the word Contract with a capital letter.

Case is taken into account only for the first character in the found word.
