FM 6.0p405 Win2k SP3 Noticed something weird. Is this a bug or a WAD? (WAD = works as designed) * Open book file. * Open FM file in book. * Bring up the Find/Change utility. * Perform a find/change operation across the whole book. When I do this and use the Find & Change button, it only works on open files in the book. If I use Find, it also looks in unopened files. So, to do a true global Find and Change across a whole book, you either have to open all files in the book to have Find & Change work properly, or you have to use the Find and Change buttons individually in order to find in unopened FM files within the same book file. Weird. I never bank on Change All, which is how I came to find this issue. Been using FM 6 for a while now (2 years?) and I just stumbled on this now... I wonder how many Find/Change operations I've made in the past didn't pass through my books 100%...??? Thoughts?
