OK, I finally figured out why I could never find anything in XEDIT. The text must be at the start of the line. Hmmm.I am *sure* I am the first person to ask this question, but.umm.how would I do a normal find, so that I can find any text in any part of any line? J Apologies for the stupid questions, I am still working on learning some of the finer points of VM.
