SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Windows Write Replace dialog box (called Change in earlier versions), the Find What text box is case-sensitive only when the Match Case (Match Upper/Lowercase in earlier versions) check box is selected. However, the Change To text box is case-sensitive always, regardless of the status of the Match Case check box.

MORE INFORMATION

Case sensitivity is best demonstrated by doing the following:

  1. Clear the Match Case check box.
  2. In the Find What and Change To text boxes, type:

    ^P

    (Press SHIFT+6, uppercase P.)
  3. When you choose the Change All button, all the carriage returns, ^p (SHIFT+6, lowercase p), are replaced with an uppercase letter P.
