Perform a Search

The Outline pane includes a Search textbox to locate content quickly instead of navigating the outline.

After you enter a word or phrase and click searchbtn, the Player performs a full-text search, including any pre-defined keywords, to locate all content with the indicated word. For example, you could type the word "page" to find any content that refers to page setup, page breaks, and so on.

The default search results display in a flat list view. All documents matching the search criteria display in the Outline pane. You can toggle to an outline view by clicking the View filtered outline link. This view displays all documents that match the search criteria within the context of their location in the outline. You can toggle back to the flat list view by clicking the View list link.
