Frontpage Search and Replace

Find and Replace has been enhanced in Microsoft FrontPage 2003, and now includes regular expressions.

You can search one document or a group of documents or all the files in your web without opening each individual page to quickly find and replace content or even HTML.

To search multiple files you need to select onlythose that you want to analyse. You can also tab between Find and Replace.

To use the enhanced Find and Replace in a page or across your entire Web site, open a new or existing page or Web site in FrontPage 2003 and do the following:

1. On the Edit menu, select Find or Replace.
2. In Find where:, select where to search by clicking Current page, Selected page(s) or All Pages.
3. To find and replace content, click the Replace tab, enter your text in Find what:, and Replace with: and click Replace All or Replace.

Tip   To search Selected page(s) multiple select more than one Web page or file to search. In Folder List view, press the control key and left-click (CTRL+Left-click) on each file to select it. Then open the Find or Replace dialog to search only on the selected files. Make sure you select Selected page(s) under Find where: before doing a replace.
