How to find and replace text in Word?
You don’t have to spend time searching through a document to find certain text and replace it with something new. The find and replace commands can do this on their own with just a few clicks.
If you want to learn how to use this feature, follow these steps:
- Launch Microsoft Word. At the top of the main window tap on the Home tab, access the Edit section, and tap on Replace:
- Next, in the Find box type the text you want to search for. In the Replace with box, type the text that will replace it.
- Now, if you click on the Replace button, you will only change the first word of the text that matches. If you click on Replace All, you will replace all the words in the text. If you use Find Next, you can go through all the matching words one by one, and decide in each case whether you want to replace them or not.
As you can see, finding and replacing text in Word is a very simple operation and saves you a lot of time compared to doing the replacements manually.
