You can move directly to a variable in the Variables pane by typing the start of the variable's name.
► Click anywhere in the list of variables in the Variables pane.
► Type the first character of the name of the variable you want to find.
The cursor moves to the next variable in the list that begins with the character you typed. If it is not the variable that you were searching for, type the same character again to move to the next variable in the list that begins with the character. For example, typing e in the Variables pane with the Museum sample survey would find entrance, then education, then expect, etc.
► Alternatively, type the first two or more characters of the variable's name to move to the first variable that begins with all the characters typed, for example, typing ex would find expect. If you type more than one letter of the variable's name, you must type the letters quickly or the display will move to a variable whose name begins with the second letter.
You can also search for text that is part of the variable name or description by using the Find dialog box.
