Hi guys,
Remember, in the braille file, if you replace codes or styles you are
searching for print and so have to type them (in ascii) into the
search/replace fields, to find and replace text you are searching for
braille and so you have to braille (6 key entry) into the search and
replace fields, the latter applies whether in normal or codes view.

This gets tricky if you are trying to replace a code with text, you have
to type in the search field and braille in the replace field!

Styles are accessed by control + shift less-than.

Ann,

You can replace codes in a braille document as long as you are 
showing codes.  You will have to enter the codes in the Find/Replace 
dialog using the Control-Left Bracket, just as you would if you were 
entering them manually in the document itself.  If you want to 
replace styles, enter them using Control-Less-Than.  Note that in the 
dialog, you get very little verbal feedback, so you have to keep your 
wits about you.  When you press the key for entering a code or style, 
the cursor will be placed between two square brackets.  If you want 
to enter more than one code, press the End key when you finish the 
first code, and then press Control-Left Bracket to begin entering the 
second code.  The same principle applies for entering more than one 
style.  Good luck.

Steve
