How restrict text search scope to current page?
Hi,
I'd appreciate your help!
In this tutorial (http://archive.xaraxone.com/webxealo...kbook%202.html) the "find and replace" dialog has the scope "current page".
However, in my XDP16 "current page" isn't available, as shown in this snapshot: https://www.evernote.com/l/AebwvNahJ...zkRwH5K7kvHOg/
So, In XDP16, how to restrict text search to the current page?
Thank you!
Carlos

Thanks for replying Acorn!
a) I couldn't select multiple layers and apply "solo" mode to all layers at once. How to do that?
I have to select/solo multiple layers because my page has many text distributed through many layers. Then the search in current page would work.
b) Since the Xara Xone tutorial show searching "current page" dialog, was such search optionremoved from current XDP releases? Nonsense...
Best,
Carlos

I did this tutorial before many of us were born. Just insert the text cursor in the text you want to search and press Ctrl + F (as in Find). I just finished formatting a 160 page book and used Find and Replace dozens of times, not only to find and replace specific words, but when working with the author it was easy to find and revise a specific occurrence of a phase, for example "the red Volvo" using this feature.

Gary, OP asked to restrict to the current page. If you just want to search and replace what you can see and not also on all 160 pages then there is no other current approach.

Gary, I am not wishing to be a pedant but "Current text flow" is just that.
If I have 100 separate text boxes across a page, that is 100 distinct text flows.

Thanks all of you for the replies!
I've learned more about searching, however it seems XDP isn't capable of searching just the "current page", right?
@acorn workflow to solo layer and then search is handy, but in my case I have text spread through many layers under same page. Since XDP seems not be able to select multiple layers and solo all of them at once, no way to search just the "current page" through this method, right?
@gwpriester Xara Xone tutorial, there is in the search dialog the option "current page". Was such search option removed from current XDP releases? I mean, did Xara downgraded the search functionalities?
Best,
Carlos

Carlos - I suspect if a useful feature was removed it was because it was not working properly, it caused a crash, or the code conflicted with some zippy new feature. I will move this thread to Dear Xara and see if we can get one of the developers to respond.

Carlos, you are right. There is nothing that makes it simple for you.
