It is helpful to search for text inside an element instead of searching through the entire manual. For example, to find a literal hyphen (used for Not Illustrated in MIL-STD-38807, Ideally, it should be added to the attribute “notshown”) in the element <ipbfigindex>, do the following: Find > Find/Replace and in the Find What: text box enter a literal hyphen and in the Find Within: enter the element name, for this example, use ipbfigindex. The Replace With: is used to replace the hyphen with some other text. In this example, leaving it blank will replace the hyphen with no character. Click Find Next and click Replace (if desired). Repeat until finished.

Using find where the Find What is c5 says that it is not there, yet I can see one in notepad.
