To search for text, enter the search terms in the Find what box and press Enter. The ENPS Client will highlight the first term in the Story that matches your search string.

You can navigate among search results using the arrow buttons.

If you want your search results to match the case of your search terms, select the Match case checkbox: if the search term is "President," then the word "president" will not be included in your search results.

To replace the search terms with another word or phrase, type it in to the Replace with box. You can replace only the currently highlighted string by clicking Replace or all of the occurrences in the document by clicking Replace All.

Delete all of the text in the Story that has been marked with the strikethrough effect.

Check the spelling in the document. In addition to launching the built-in spell checker, this button can also be used to launch a third-party spell checker if one has been installed by your site's System Administrator.

If you are using the built-in spell checker, click the down arrow to select any of the following options:

• Check spelling as you type. This option will underline any repeated or misspelled words as you type them.

• Ignore upper case, words with numbers. These options allow you to ignore capitalized words or words that contain numbers.

By default, ENPS sets the spellcheck language based on your input language, or the base language used on your workstation. If you need to add one or more other languages, you can do so by clicking on the Spellcheck button and selecting the desired languages from the drop-down menu.

If the Story is in a Rundown, you can view prior versions of that Story.

A version is stored every time a user modifies a Story and saves the changes.

Determine the length of time for airing the Story for text and media objects.

The length of time to read the Story is based on the Read Rate entered via the Story's production commands. If no Read Rate is entered, a default value of 18 characters per second will be used although that value can be changed by your site's System Administrator.

Insert a production command.

Production commands are special instructions that can be used to communicate information with people in the newsroom or to send instructions to hardware devices. Because these commands must be formatted precisely they cannot be edited directly from the Story.

The options from this menu include:

• Anchor/ReadRate

• Duration

• Notes

• Take

• Insert

• Insert Tech Instruction

Choosing any of the last three options opens up a full Production Command dialog. Additional production command options, e.g. VO, SOT, PKG, Live, can be selected from the upper-right drop-down menu.

If your site uses an automation system you can insert an automation control command including Clip, Still, CG, Inset, Camera, Logo, Live Event, OS or Macro.

Insert a MOS command into the Story.

These commands must be configured by your site's System Administrator.

Use these icons to toggle between the Story text and the Story's property fields.

When you are viewing a list of Story properties, you can filter the list using the Filter box. See Search for more information.

The template includes all of the Story front fields and back fields that you have defined. The template will be saved using the Story name.

The front fields will appear at the top of your Story in a window that you can expand and collapse. Back fields will appear in the list of built-in story property fields that you can see when you click the Properties icon.

If you selected back fields using the Select Fields option those fields will appear in the list of Story property fields when you click Properties.

Select this icon to view only the fields you have selected and hide the built-in fields.
