 Find & Replace
 

Tips


 

  1. No line spaces - You can search for text or code from HTML view - but it must all be on one line. If you are wanting to replace text/code that goes over more than one line, you will have to do it line by line.
     

  2. Deleting text - insert the text you want deleted into the Find what box, then leave the Replace with box empty ..... your text will now be replaced - with nothing!
     

  3. Adding Meta tags - if you want to add certain meta tags throughout your website, or on selected pages - or indeed any text or code, you can use the Find and Replace. In HTML view you will have the following line in between the <head> and </head> tags.

meta tag line

 

  1. Highlight that line, then click on Edit/Replace - the dialog box will open up with the highlighted phrase already inserted for you.

Highlighted text inserted for you

 

  1. In the Replace with box, copy and paste that meta tag. Then add the new meta tag you want on your page directly after it - as shown below.

Find and Replace text boxes

 

  1. Follow the instructions for replacing text in the whole web, and your new meta tag will now be added to every page. You could just put the end part of the meta tag in the Find box, say just FrontPage 5.0"> as long as you are sure those words do not appear elsewhere in your pages, which is unlikely in the example I have given, but just make sure if you are wanting to insert anything into your pages using the Find/Replace method that you put into the Find box enough characters/words that FP will not find them somewhere else that you had forgotten about, and did not want to be changed. Once you use the Find/Replace you cannot undo it by hitting the undo button!!
