!! What is the Find box?

  In most of your resources you can open a Find box. The Find box is a small bar which drops down just below that resource's toolbar. {{$ media:FindBox1a.png }} In the Find box you type a word and Logos will search for that word in your resource starting where-ever you are in the resource and going forward. If no occurrences of your word (or partial word) is found you may notice the Find box turns red. This quickly helps you determine if your word is present. Once that your word is found you can use the Up/Down arrow to the right of the Find box to sequence to the previous or next occurrence of your word. It is similar to Find in your browser or other software tools.
