We are going to look at searching for text on Visio diagrams now. I have opened up the network sample diagram, and we are going to search for something on that. To do that we click Edit, and then Find. The find dialog box appears, and we are going to search for the word 'laptop'. Now we have the option to specify a number of special characters. We could put in also tab, manual return, optional hyphen, caret or searching for any character. We can nominate where we want to search - just in the selection, the current page or all pages, so we will keep the default. And we have the option to simply search the shape text, custom property text, the shape name (that's the name that appear here over on the master shapes), and also in what is called a user-defined cell, which is of interest to developers. We can match the case, match character width is mainly to do with Asian languages, and find whole words only - if we want to do that, we can select that. So let's execute the search now and see what we come up with. So what we do once we find something, it will tell us in the box down the bottom - found in: custom property "product description". Which custom property, you may ask. Well have a look at the diagram, and you will see that Visio selects the shape concerned. So if we want to find out more information, we can cancel that and now go up to Shape>Custom properties. And there you will see that the word 'laptop' is on the product description field for that particular shape. Going back to our find operation, we also press control + F to access this box. Let's try again, so that's the one we have already seen, the product description field. Now it is saying that it has found a shape name with the name 'laptop'. So that one is this one here. You will notice it doesn't give us any more information about which stencil the shape is on, and it is not highlighted in any way. So at least that gives us an indication that there is a shape with that label applied to it. But we have the job then of finding the relevant stencil ourselves. The next one is a user-defined cell, and now we have found one that is on the drawing itself, in the shape text. And you will see here that Visio has zoomed in now on this laptop shape, and highlighted the word concerned. So if we want to make an edit there now, we can cancel here and we are ready to go with editing in that text block. So we'll just go through them all again. There's that one, there is the shape text, and that concludes the search - Visio comes up and tells us that there is no more to find. Clicking OK and cancel brings us back to the drawing again. Now if you want to search more easily (I suppose you would say) for a shape on a stencil, as we have seen previously you can do that by going File>Find shape. And here I am able to type in a word and find a particular stencil, where for example the laptop is located. If we click Go now, and here you will see that there's been a couple of things found where 'laptop' is relevant. And it also gives us there the stencil name up the top. If you want to read the full name, we can drag our border there, and it shows it's on the basic network shapes 3D stencil, like that. Other searching capabilities we have available to us for anything within a file on your computer or the network or across the web, we can find that by going up here to the menu - and we will select View>Task pane. And we get the basic search field coming up here. If you don't see that yourself when you first open this pane, you can click this little arrow here and click Search, then you can type your term, and you can see you can set to search anywhere on your computer, on the web or anywhere you have access to. So that concludes our look there at the searching capability. Now let's have a look at spelling. And to spell check, it is simply a matter of pressing F7, or you can also select it from the Tools menu>Spelling. And it comes up with the spelling dialog box, which if you've used other Microsoft applications, there won't be any surprises there. The options dialog box allows you to search within the selection, just a page you are on or all the pages in the diagram. The 'check spelling as you type' of course is that wavy red line, we can turn that off if we don't want to see that. And we can ignore words with numbers. We can also add in our own dictionaries there. And we can see this word has been selected for a spell check, we can either press ignore if we want to keep it as it is, we can type a new version up here to change it to, or we can select one of the suggestions that Visio makes, and then we click change to action that. If we click ignore, we just move on to the next word to check. And we can change all the instances, so that the same as that using change all button. Or if we want to add the word to our dictionary, then we can click the add button. And once we are finished, we can just click cancel to move out of the spell check.
