Options
Match case
Specifies that all found matches must have the exact combination of uppercase and lowercase letters specified in the Find what box.
Note: Matches the case of letters used in your drawing as they were originally typed, regardless of whether the text was subsequently formatted using Small Caps or All Caps formatting.
Match character width
Specifies that all found matches must have the exact character width specified in the Find what box. For example, the Katakana alphabet can be represented with a narrow character or a wide character.
Find whole words only
Specifies that all found matches must be complete words and not parts of larger words. For example, if you type for in the Find what box, all instances of "for" are found but "forest" is ignored.
Match Kana type
Specifies that all found matches must be either Katakana or Hiragana characters, depending on which one you typed in the Find what box. Clear this check box to find both Katakana and Hiragana characters.
Note: This option applies to Asian text, and is available only when the Kana find and replace feature is enabled. To enable this feature, on the Tools menu, click Options. On the Regional tab, click the Kana find and replace arrow, and click Show.
Found in
Identifies that matching text was found in a text block, or shows the name of the shape, shape data, or user-defined cell in which matching text was found.
