Find/Change and search area

[Hosun]

Hi, 

When I run Find/Change, it starts from Page 1.

Is there any way to specify the search area?

If you mean a page range, no. As you've seen, the choices are limited to Document and All Documents when there is no selection active, and to the menu items below when there is a selection:

You can search the entire document, the current story, or a selection, and if you have an active cursor inthe story you can choose to search forward or backward from the insertion point (but eventually it will search the entire scope).

You can:

• Make a selection and choose "Selection"
• Click an insertion point and choose "To End of Story"

Is that what you are trying to do?

I agree with Jane. Those are the most plausible and fastest ways of limiting the search.

Thank you very much for your reply. 

I have another question. 
What's the difference between All Documents and Document? (ALL the Id files opened or ONE Id file on which the cursor is placed?)

Document = all stories in active document. 
All Documents = all stories in all OPEN documents
