Placeholders
Often, while writing, you will leave gaps to fill in later.
It is useful to have a standard bit of text, such as ‘xxx’ to use as a placeholder. Every time you leave a gap, use a placeholder to mark it. Then you can use the ‘find’ or search function to quickly locate the gaps.
This has two useful functions. Firstly, you can quickly find out what you have left to do. Secondly, when you think you are finished, you can check that there is nothing left undone.
