[oXygen-user] Find/Replace in Files: unable to find pretty-printed word combinations

[Sorin Ristache]

Hi,

Please check all the values in the Find/Replace in Files dialog box: 
scope should be "Current DITA map hierarchy", file filter should be 
*.dita (or *.xml), etc. If all values are correct in the dialog box 
please send a sample DITA topic file that should be found by the find 
action but is not found and also specify the search string that you used.


Regards,
Sorin
