Find & Replace

What is "find and replace"?


The Find and Replace feature allows you to change a word or phrase scattered
throughout a document with one simple editing procedure, instead of having to work
your way through the document looking for them. You can replace specific text,
character formats or paragraph formats, and even text, which has been formatted in
a specific way, i.e. bold or italic text, or text formatted with a style. Note: Under the
Edit drop down menu are two similar commands Find and Replace. In fact, if you use
the Find command, it will display a dialog box with a Replace button that will still
allow you to search for a specific word or phrase and then replace it with a different
word or phrase.
