Find and replace

[JulianYates]

There doesn't appear to be an option for find and replace text. Sometimes I receive large amounts of transcribed interviews. These transcriptions can contain consistent errors - e.g. spelling errors or misinterpretations of contextual/foreign terms. But there is no way of changing all those terms at once - I have to go through a find each incident. If I do this during coding I have to keep toggling the "edit" function on and off, as well as the coding ribbons.

 

Please add a "find and replace" function! It is a very simple addition and is another surprising omission from the Mac version of NVivo. It is another example of how the small things make the workflow in NVivo clunky.

Hi Julian - again, your feedback is really appreciated. I'll pass this on to the devs.
