You can choose a variety of special characters from the pop-up menus to the right of the Find and Replace With
options.
4 To customize how Illustrator searches for the specified text string, select any of the following options:
Match Case Searches only for text strings that exactly match the uppercase and lowercase text in the Find text box.
Find Whole Word Searches only for entire words that match the text in the Find text box.
Search Backwards Searches the file from the bottom to the top of the stacking order.
Check Hidden Layers Searches for text in hidden layers. When this option is deselected, Illustrator ignores text in
hidden layers.
Check Locked Layers Searches for text in locked layers. When this option is deselected, Illustrator ignores text in
locked layers.
5 Click Find to begin the search.

To change capitalization styles
1 Select the characters or type objects you want to change.
2 Choose one of the following in the Type > Change Case submenu:
UPPERCASE to change all characters to uppercase.
Note: The UPPERCASE command causes discretionary ligatures to revert to normal text. This also occurs with the Title
Case and Sentence Case commands when a discretionary ligature appears at the beginning of a word.
lowercase to change all characters to lowercase.
Title Case to capitalize the first letter of each word.
Sentence Case to capitalize the first letter of each sentence.
Note: The Sentence Case command assumes that the period (.), exclamation point (!), and question mark (?) characters
mark the ends of sentences. Applying Sentence Case may cause unexpected case changes when these characters are used
in other ways, as in abbreviations, filenames, or URLs. In addition, proper names may become lowercase.
If you’re using an OpenType font, you may want to take advantage of All Caps formatting to create more elegant type.
