Find and Replace: How to replace a word that appears multiple times in your document

Ms helps 2013 blog - find and replace
Hello friends,

Have you been in that situation where you mistakenly type in a word/phrase continuously not knowing that it’s was an error? After typing, you then realised that you made that particular mistake over and over again and now it’s a stress to go back and start editing (replacing) them one after the other with the correct word. For example, you wanted to type “2015”, you were now typing “2014” in the entire document. Assuming this “2014” appears 30 times in the document, wouldn’t it be a big stress to go back and start editing each of them? Now, that’s why this article was made.

Find and Replace:  There is one feature I so love on Microsoft word and it’s this find and replace function – It’s very lovely. Using Find and replace makes it very easy for you to fix that error I talked about in the beginning paragraph (above) with just few clicks and you’re done. Let’s get started…

How to Use Find and Replace
  • Click Replace at the top right corner of the screen under Home tab.
  • A rectangular box would pop out, put the word you want to replace in that Find what box.
  • Then Put the word you want to replace it with in that Replace with box.

  • After that, click Replace all.
Automatically, every repetition of that particular word in your document would be replace.

It’s very easy to do. You wouldn’t struggle with that again because this tip will definitely help you. Any place you don’t understand do express it to me and I will try as much as possible to explain it better.

Thanks for visiting… Would be expecting your comments and also share this tip with your friends; you might not know who you may just help by sharing this article.
