When you're working with longer documents, it can be difficult and
time-consuming to locate a specific word or phrase. Word can automatically
search your document using the Find feature, and it allows you to
quickly change words or phrases using Replace.
Find:
From the Home tab,
click the Find command. Shortcut Key Ctrl + F.
The navigation
pane will appear on the left side of the screen.
· If the text is found in the document, it will be highlighted in yellow and a preview of the results will appear in the navigation pane. Alternatively, you can click one of the results below the arrows to jump to it.
When you are finished, click the X to close the navigation pane. The highlight will disappear.
·
For more search options, click the drop-down arrow next to the
Search field.
Replace:
From the Home tab,
click the Replace command. Shortcut Key Ctrl + H.
·
The Find and
Replace dialog box will appear.
·
Type the text you want to find in
the Find what: field.
· Type the text you want to replace it with in the Replace with field. Then click Find Next.
·
Word will find the first instance of
the text and highlight it in gray.
·
Review the text to make sure you want to replace it. In our
example, the text is part of the title of the paper and does not need to be
replaced. We'll click Find Next again to jump to the next instance.
·
If you want to replace it, you can
click Replace to change individual instances of text. Alternatively,
you can click Replace All to replace every instance of the text
throughout the document.
·
The text will be replaced.
·
When you're done,
Click Close or Cancel to close the dialog box.
·
For more search options,
click More in the Find and Replace dialog box. From here, you can
select additional search options, such as matching case and ignoring
punctuation.
Note: When it comes to using Replace All, it's important to remember
that it could find matches you didn't anticipate and that you might not
actually want to change. You should only use this option if you're absolutely
sure it won't replace anything you didn't intend it to.
Select:
From the Home tab,
Click the Select command.
·
To select all of the text in the
document, choose Select All. Shortcut key Ctrl + S.
·
To select objects that are hidden,
stacked, or behind the text, choose Select Objects. To select an object,
click or tap when your pointer becomes a selection arrow as it moves over an object. To select multiple objects, press
and hold Ctrl while you click or tap the objects that you want.
·
To select text with similar
formatting, choose Select All Text with Similar Formatting.
·
To open the task pane where you can
select, multi-select, show, hide or change the order of objects, choose Selection
Pane, and then select the options that you want.
