 * Right or wrong, I have an need to make slight amendments to my web pages using
   my iPad. I know this is not the best piece of kit to alter WordPress, but sometimes
   it is the quickest way to alter minor errors. The problem using the iPad is the
   keyboard pops up if you touch the screen anywhere near the text. My pages relate
   to the history of our musical society.
    Problem is to locate a specific word 
   but not to replace it, but to simply GO TO a location in the TEXT mode where 
   I know a VISUAL error such as a space or lack of, jumps out at you when you look
   at it. So the show title maybe The Mikado, but the error may be near the title,
   but to “find” The Mikado gets me close to the error. Is there a method to use
   with the current plug in? Say FIND “Mikado” REPLACE WITH “Mikado” or will this
   procedure scan the whole text and simply find and replace every location instead
   of stopping at the first instance?
