How restrict text search scope to current page?

[cadudesun]

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

Carlos, in checking, the closest I can get for you is to select the Layer(s) the texts are on and pick Solo mode. An All pages search then only searches for that Layer (and therefore Page).

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.
