Deleting Codes in Duxbury

You can use the Replace command to find and replace both codes and styles, but two conditions must be met, as detailed below:

• For codes: with the cursor placed in the "Text to find:" field, use keyboard shortcut F9 to insert a blank code "bubble" (essentially the opening and closing square bracket within the gray box Duxbury uses to differentiate codes and styles from the text). Start typing the code you would like to search for (if the bold font code was used, then this would be "fts~b" without the quotes). Leave the "Replace with:" field empty and click "OK" or hit enter. You can then choose "Yes," "No," "All," or "Stop" when the "Confirm Replacement" dialog box pops up. Choosing "All" will remove all instances and you will be presented with another dialog box showing how many replacements were made.
• For styles: with the cursor placed in the "Text to find:" field, type the style name you would like to search for (in this case, "bold" without the quotes). Leave the "Replace with:" field empty. and click "OK" or hit enter. In the "Advanced options" section, select the radio button for "Replace stylename"; if this is not selected, then Duxbury will search for the word "bold" in your text and not amongst the style names. You can then choose "Yes," "No," "All," or "Stop" when the "Confirm Replacement" dialog box pops up. Choosing "All" will remove all instances and you will be presented with another dialog box showing how many replacements were made.

On a side note, if you select "Yes" when the "Confirm Replacement" dialog box appears, Duxbury will only replace the highlighted instance and then move on to the next one. If you select "No," then the highlighted instance will be skipped and Duxbury will move on to the next one.
