How to use Find and Change on part of a document in CS6

Question

In CS6, is it possible to use Find and Change on part of a document? We'd like to start it about halfway through a document and not use it on the first half.

If it's possible to search part of a document, how do we set that up. For example, we want to Find "DZ space" (character space) and Change it to "DZ Paragraph End".

We tried starting the Find/Change halfway through the document, but it went back to the first page to start the Find/Change.

Thanks.

We tried starting in the middle of the story, but it went back to the beginning of the story and started there.

Did we miss making a setting somewhere in the Find/Change box?

Thanks.

Am I missing something but why don't you select the test you want to search?

Find/Change will tend to search beginning wherever the Type tool is implanted. When it gets to the end of a document, it will move on to the beginning. You will be clicking on Find Next. You can limit a search to a story, if that helps.
