      Hi everyone. This is something that I really would like to fix, if possible. When using Find/Change on a large document looking for a specific string of text, every time the text is found, the spread moves to try and center the location on screen. Is there any way to keep the spread from moving around in this situation? Already searched for help on the Adobe website, Googled it, even here in indesignsecrets, but at no avail. Thanks in advance.

      On the other hand, some people would consider that centering (going to the location of the Find) to be expected behaviour. Certainly is in many other programs.
      Sometimes it’s useful to be able to see the local effect of a find/change, as you’re making it.

      Chris.

      @Ariel Walden: thanks a lot, I shall try it. @ThompsonText: agree, it does sometimes make sense. It should be the user’s decision, don’t you think? Thanks all for the replies.Cheers!

      For me the ideal behaviour would be that if the screen shows the full spread or page, Find doesn’t change the position. But when you’re zoomed in, find should centre the result. Should be an option.
