Replace commnad does not search entire active doc when...

Hello,

The replace command does not search the entire document when I click "Find Next" on the pop up window. It only searches from the current location and below, but it does not ask me if I want to continue from the top either!

I could miss replacing a few items if I trust the "Find Next" button in the Replace pop up window.

Works fine (i.e. it wraps the file if needed) when I specify "Replace All" but I don't always want to do ALL since I may need to see each replacement to approve it or not.

Any fix available for this problem?

Thanks,
Raul

Very thoughtlesss for such a great editor... I never noticed that because I always start my find next or replace next from the top of the document.. maybe you can try that

I agree and have suggested this before here.

should be like 'find'

I agree, they should put the 'wrap search' option of the find dialog into the replace also.

Find Next does not wrap when using Replace, so you can safely start at a particular point in the document and only make changes from there to the end. We'll consider making that user selectable, as with Find.
