Find and replace text in Memo (95LX) (100/200LX)

On the HP 95LX The 95LX has a Find feature, but no replace option. Move to the beginning of the document and press (F7). Key in the misspelled word you're looking for and press (F7) (Next) or (F5) (Previous). When you find a misspelled word you have to correct it by hand, or you could create a system macro to delete the word and key in the correct spelling.

On the HP 100/200LX The search will begin from wherever the cursor is, so first press (CTRL) (Fn) (HOME) to go to the top of the document. Then press (F5) and the Find and Replace dialog box appears at the bottom of the screen.

 Key in the misspelled word (exactly as it is misspelled). Press (<Tab>) once to move to the "Replace with" box and enter the correct spelling of the word. Press (ALT) e (for Replace All) and an hourglass icon will appear in the middle of the screen, indicating the Find and Replace is in progress. It may take a while if you have a long document. When it's completed, the dialog box disappears and you'll be back at the beginning of your document.
