Ann,

The Find/Replace still works in 10.5. I use it all the time. Having said that, I'm wondering if you're trying to replace styles instead of codes. Anything surrounded by less-than and greater-than signs is a style. For example, <para.> and </para.> In the days before 10.5, these would have been [es~para.] and [ee~para.].

If you're trying to replace a style, you can do it one of two ways:
1. Open the Search/Replace dialog and press Control-Shift-comma. This will place your cursor between a less-than and greater-than sign, and you can type in the style exactly as it appears.
2. In the Find/Replace dialog, type in the style name (such as "para." (without the quotes, of course), and check the box that says "Replace Style Name." This technique will replace both the beginning and ending style codes, so it's preferable to the first technique.

Why am I unable to do a global search and replace for codes when I am in
the coded view?  In 10.4 I could open the search and replace box, type
control plus left bracket, then write the code into the field between
the left and right brackets, then conduct the search and replace
activity.  I keep getting the error message that the text was not found.
Also, I see that my para codes are often surrounded by a less-than and
greater-than sign.  I have never see that before.
