After uploading to 18 (from 16) I no longer have Find/Replace. Have studied as much as I can of the manual.
Can someone please tell me where it is moved to?
Thank you

Should still be in the Edit menu.
Or Ctrl + Alt + F
Most get confused as Xara uses Ctrl+F to move a shape to the Front.
Ctrl+F does work if the Text tool is active.
The Menu allows Alt-E-F; each key can be pressed in turn without holding down.
Gary's mentioned Ctrl+Alt+F.
Serial Key Types ASCII Key MetaKeys KeyPress MenuPress (Alt) Function Type Description 152 HotKey 0x46 F Constrain Alternative Ctrl+Alt+F EF SearchDlg Dialog Window Presents the Find and Replace Dialog.

Thank you for replying. Can't understand it.
Yes it should still be in the Edit menu, as it was when I was using 16.
I can't immediately send you a similar photo for the Edit menu, but in words it is this (Text tool on):
Undo create text line
Redo (greyed)
Cut page 'sitemap'
Copy page 'sitemap'
Paste
Delete page 'sitemap'
Select All
Reset current attributes
Duplicate (greyed)
Clone (greyed)
Pages
The old Find/Replace came between those same two lines as on your thumbnail.
I get no effect either when I test with putting the Shape tool on, as you have.
Ctrl + F, Alt E F and Ctrl+Alt+F all don't produce the dialog. Although I don't understand the whole table Acorn has provided, I do understand that the top line says that the way of getting the Dialog is Ctrl+Alt+F, but not when I do it.
I use it so much, for years, and I'm sure other people must do.
It looks as if my thumbnail did come through, for what it's worth.
CK21, definitely different to Gary's screen capture and all my versions.Quote:

Right-click your shortcut and pick Run as administrator.

Thank you very much for this. At least I know I'm not imagining it. I shall follow this up as soon as I can.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe you have Web Designer but not Web Designer Premium?
Thank you to all who suggested. It just has to be a Friday afternoon model. We tried everything suggested - and it is indeed Web Designer Premium - and because I use it so much, in the end we went back to using 16. I won't be needing it at all after this year so it doesn't matter what I have 'lost' from the upgrade.
At least I know I wasn't imagining it. Thank you.
Thank you for updating us.Quote:

If it is a configuration issue then claim a refund.
