Steve,
Sorry for being tardy, yesterday was a public holiday here.
E.g. copy [fts~i] into "text to find" which immediately brings up its
mate [fte~i], leave "replace with" blank & hey presto: "Error- Text was
not found in the document" (it IS there!!!). Same problem with [fts~b]
and [fts~u] the other day.
E.g. Copy </para.>; brings up <para.>; delete <para.> from dialog box
leaving </para.>; replace with [<]; result "Error- Some codes are not
properly started or terminated".
E.g. Copy [ps]; does not bring up its mate [pe] but when replaced with
blank deletes [ps]. Anomalous, but I won't complain ... 'cos it worked
... sorta
;-)
Obviously the codes are paired for good reason, but it does make it
difficult to "split" them when required. It seems to be easier to
change/delete an opening rather than closing code.
I'm also having silly problems like; to TYPE <para.> into "text to
find"; ctrl [ (for a code); type <para.>, but now we have an extraneous
set of [] and again "Error- Text was not found in the document". Tried
without ctrl [ but still wont find.

Alan,
I've done the same thing, and am still doing it in 10.5 without any
change
in procedure. What exactly isn't working for you?
