Find and Replace, and search

Find and replace a word or a sentence on the current page. Enter runs the search, Enter again moves to the next match (Shift+Enter to the previous), and which match of the total you are on is shown. Matching can be case-sensitive, and when you replace one at a time or all at once, it tells you how many were replaced. You can also search the full text of Documents and the Manuscript and jump straight to the page you want. Open Search in the sidebar; the results say how many pages were found and show the matching text on each.

Character count and word count

The character count and word count appear together below the editor as characters (words). For a count the editor does not show, ask the agent — “how many characters is chapter 3?”, “is this page over 2,000 characters?” It counts the characters, words, sentences, or paragraphs of a page, a part of one, or a run of chapters (page_length).

Long pages

However long a page gets, it opens as one continuous document. Scroll straight through it, and select and edit across the whole of it. To have the agent work on one part of a long page rather than the whole, select that passage and press Ask in the cursor menu; the passage is quoted into the chat.

Paragraph spacing

To change the space between paragraphs, choose Adjust paragraph spacing in the editor's more menu. Set the number of line breaks between paragraphs and the whole page is spaced to match. The window opens showing the page's current number, so you change the number and press Apply.
