Find and replace can't find words with "

I have Mleaders with text: 3/8" Thermal Break.

I want to replace it with the 3/4" Thermal Break.

unfortunatly Find And Replace can not detect the text. I tried changing the settings in the find and replace dialoge box but it does not help.

Is 3/8" shown as a stacked fraction? or intact text size 3 then / then an 8? FIND command doesn't work on stacked fractions. You need to unstack it first

Hi IB55

Dean is right, the FIND command does not work with stacked fractions.

Therefore in order to find and replace the desired text, the fractions need to be unstacked first, the you should be able to find and replace the desired text.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Martin Langolf

Thanks Dean

 

It is stacked fraction. unstacking them would be as easy as to re-enter the correct text than to run find command after unstack.

Hi there, did you ever find a solution to use find and replace dialog box with diagonal fractions? I have a lot MTEXT with HSS5x5X3/8 (the fraction is auto stacked to a diagonal fraction) to a 4 1/2X3 1/2X 3/8. 

 

Would you please let me know whether you were able to find a way to solve this problem.
