Using Find/Replace
CTRL-F opens the find dialog.
I don't think you'll be able to search for all caps, though.

Using Find/Replace
You can search for All Caps font formatting just as you can search for
italic (Format | Font), and you can search for runs of typed capital letters using wildcards; see http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm. Numbers in general can also be found with wildcards, and there are specific codes for em and en dashes. Parentheses and quotes can be typed directly into the "Find what" box. -- Suzanne S.
