How to find and Replace Text

[TD_11399801]

This feels like a silly question, but I have not been able to figure out how to find and replace text in Prime 9 from the help or other posts.

Look at the bottom of the Prime Window

But don't expect too much comfort and functionality - especially when it comes to subscripts, etc.

Here is the chapter in the help

To Find and Replace Alphanumeric Characters

but I agree that Prime's help is not very well structured and things are often hard to find.

Oh my goodness, the status bar is on the BOTTOM? I feel silly but also that is not where I would institutively have guessed. 

Is there a hotkey associated with the help?

F1, as with most other software ...

You may also access it via the menu at the "Resources" ribbon and lookup other keyboard shortcuts

In case "Resources" does not show up you can enable it in the options.

When Prime is installed you have the choice between using the help locally installed or the online version which I referred to.

Sorry I meant a hotkey for the find. ctrl + F does not work 

[Werner_E]

I never use(d) search and replace in Prime and I am not aware of any hotkey nor did I find anything documented.

I just tried and found that at least F3 for "find next" seems to work.

I would also miss an option like "replace all". I told you not to expect too much comfort and functionality 😉

EDIT: I just noticed that Ctrl-F actually works - the cursor jumps to the "find" entry window. Because the Find/Replace options are visible all the time at the bottom that's easy to overlook.
