Is there a find and replace function for formulas? Example, you have a bunch of formulas that have a subscript of 11 in variables, and you want to change all of the 11's to 3's?

Hello, Yes. In a single math region, you can use the F8 key an you'll be able to rename all local variables/functions at once. Globally, you can do it with the Text Region Utilities plugin. ![2018-01-20 08_36_27-SMath Studio - [Page1_].png](/forum/resource.ashx?a=21966&b=2) ![2018-01-20 08_36_54-SMath Studio - [Page1_].png](/forum/resource.ashx?a=21967&b=2) Edited by user 09 April 2019 21:36:57(UTC)

In a text region, nothing happens if I push "F8". Also, I have the text region utilities plugin on SMath, but don't know how to access it in the sheets. Also, I was also asking how to do this in an actual formula, not a text region.

Both F8 and the TRU dialog are able to do that, just play with the options (uncheck "Text regions", check meaningful math options). Edited by user 09 April 2019 21:36:33(UTC)

Do the above apply to version 0.99 (build: 7005)? our computer people have not updated to the current version.

In general, subscripts just confuse unless they are for didactic demo. If you have literal subscript(s) it might then be easier to change via text. .... example mnemonic ...type 'J' thermocouple in the range up 356 °C J_356(mV):=f(x,

It's an old screenshot, unfortunately I'm from smartphone and I can't make an actual one.
However since a while items in insert menu are sorted by type (folders then simple items) and by name a to z, if you have it should be one of last folders |

Then go to tools > plugins, and with the top right button set as "local storage" check if the plugin is in the list.
If it's there and disabled, you can enable it again.
If is missing, change the top button to "online gallery" and you can install it from the list. |

It may be necessary to restart SMath if you just installed Text Region Utilities. |

"Standard Toolbox Buttons" is the built-in plugin that handles the callapsible palettes on the right of the screen (Arithmetic, Matrices, Booleans, etc...) Text region Utilities is a different addin and provides (even) the "toolbox region". If you search "text" in your extensions manager and you have the plugin installed you should see something like this (SS 0.99.7005):  Edited by user 10 April 2019 00:42:06(UTC)

I have Text Region Utilities now. Is there a way to use search and replace to just search a selected portion of the worksheet, and not search the whole worksheet? Can I select a certain portion of the worksheet and have SMath search and replace for just the selected area?

Something like in Google search reporting all Lagrange highlighted yellow from some books in PDF ... thus reporting all regions containing Lagrange in an Smath document. Or otherwise search for π in math regions ? By portion: Do you mean page range of several pageswork sheet ? or in displayed on screen ? Long Smath work sheet of several pages are rare as they soon suffer from shadow in context [dog chasing his own tail].
