Find and Replace

Purpose:

To replace text/words with another word you want.  For example, you've typed a letter to a parent, and in the letter you've mentioned the parent as Mrs. Jansen.  Now you have found out that the last name is actually spelled Janson and need to make those changes.

1.		We have the letter to Mrs. Jansen; we need to change the name to Mrs. Janson.
2.		Click on Edit, and then click Replace.
3.		The Find and Replace dialogue box will be displayed.  Click on the Replace tab.  What we want to find is Jansen, so we'll type that in the Find What window. We'll replace it with Janson, so we'll type that in the Replace With window. We want to replace all of them, so we'll click the Replace All button.
4.		All the Jansens have been replaced with Janson. Just imagine if you had a lengthy document and you had to replace all those names. It could take a while manually, but the Find and Replace function accomplishes the task instantly.
