Finding specific text in a draft message

To search for specific words or character sequences in the message you are creating, select Find from the Message window Text menu, or click on the Find button, and make your selections:

• Click in the ``Search For:'' field and enter the text for which you want to search.

• Decide whether to make the search case-sensitive (look specifically for the lower- and uppercase characters that you entered in the ``Search For:'' field). If the search is not case-sensitive, case is ignored. Select Case Sensitive Search to use case sensitivity.

• Decide whether you want to search for whole words only, instead of parts of words. For example, if you enter ``one'' in the ``Search For'' field, the search only finds occurrences of the word ``one.'' It does not indicate words like ``done,'' ``alone,'' or ``telephone.'' Select Whole Word Search to search for whole words only.

• Decide how you want the message searched. By default, a search starts with your current position in the message, searches to the end of the message, then goes to the top of the message, and searches down to the starting point. This is called ``wrapping.'' To specify that you want the search to stop at the end of the message, select Do Not Wrap Search.

Finding the next occurrence

To search for the next occurrence of the string for which you just searched, select Find Next from the Message window Text menu or click on the Find Next button.
