NISS30OEld as Word(s) not found. 8. Resume normal word processor operation or go back to step (1) to search for another string - or for the same string again. Since the search string remains in memory until you define another or turn the power off, you will not have to re-enter it in step (5) when you search repeatedly for the same string, and exit to make changes. Defining a Search String • The 63-character limit refers to the number of characters you see on the screen. An accented character (made with a dead key) or superimposed characters (made with a permanent backspace) count as a single character even if it takes two or more keystrokes to type. • The search function distinguishes between upper and lower case letters. For example, if you specify "ALPHA", it will not stop at "alpha" or "Alpha". • Each space that you type (with gigargiiD ) in the string or in the text counts as one character. • The string input area initially appears as a continuous underline. Everything before the trailing underline is considered part of the string. The string shown below, for example, is five characters long because it ends with two spaces. ) , SEARCH ;AAA I • The search function stops at every string that matches the specified string - even if the match is inside a word. If the specified string is "at", it stops at "at" of "hat", "attention", etc. If you wish to search only for the word "at", specify "_at__", leaving a space on each side of the word. • The search function ignores "soft spaces" that are added by the justify function and hyphens other than permanent ones. If "word processor" is the spec- ified string, the function will stop at "word processor" if there is an extra space inserted by the justify function and at "word pro-cessor" if the hyphen was typed in the hot zone. • The search string cannot contain styles such as bold, underline, subscript, or superscripts because the search function ignores them. If you specify "AT, it stops at "A2", "A2", "A2" - and all combinations with bold and underline as well. Pressing during string input stops the search function, but the string remains in memory until you define another, or turn the power off. AA
