This command can be executed from the Editor's Toolbar, or Right-click Menu, or keyboard shortcut Ctrl+I.

 

Allows you to search for specific tagsSpecsIntact Tags are used to define key elements and attributes used control content and format as well as run processes and generate reports . These tags consist of an opening and closing tag. A tag -- either opening or closing, is used to mark the start or end of an element. Most tags consist of a beginning-tag <SEC> and ending tag </SEC>, but can also contain some empty-element tags such as <Page />. Tags are using the Find Tag dialog box as illustrated below:

 

Select Tag to Find - Use the drop-down to select the tag you wish to find.  Once selected the Tag will appear next to the Tag: field.

 

Find - Select whether you want to search on Begin Tags, End Tags, or Both.

 

Attribute -- Select 'Find tags only with the following attribute value,' and then enter the user-specific attribute in the field below. There are a limited number of tags that are designed to include user-specific attributes, such as, Tailoring Options (TAI), Text (TXT), List (LST) or Item (ITM) tags.  For example, the Tailoring Option (TAI) tags contain ARMY, NAVY, NASA OR AIR FORCE.  Whereas the Text, List, and Item tags may include attributes such as Indentation (-0.33, etc.), Justification (Left, Right, or Center)  or Style (Bold, Italic, or Underline) attributes.

 

Search - Choose whether you want to search the Entire File or From Cursor position.

 

OK - Begins the search function.

 

Cancel - Closes the dialog box without initiating the search.

 

To continue to find subsequent occurrences of the same tag, use the F3 key or the button on the Editor's Toolbar.
