A quicker way of finding text in a document is througfh the Find and Replace dialog, which is what Toby talks about in this lesson. The Replace feature also comes in handy when you want to replace words in a long document where manually doing so would take up most of your time. With the Replace feature, you can replace multiple identical words with another more preferred word in one go. Saves you a lot of time and effort! Toby also explains how each of the buttons in the Find and Replace dialog functions. Some of which are Match Case, Find whole words only, Use wildcards, Sounds like, and Find all word forms.

In the previous section, we looked at the use of the Navigation Pane and one of the uses of the Navigation Pane is to find text or other objects within a document. Now there is another way of finding text within a document although it largely overlaps with the method you saw in the preceding section. And it uses a dialog that’s been a feature of Word for a few versions now, and it’s the Find and Replace dialog and that’s what we’re going to look at in this section. Now the exercise that I’m going to perform on this file is to replace the word Choose in it everywhere that it occurs with the word Select. Now I don’t know how many times the word Choose occurs in this document. At the moment within this document, the cursor, what’s called the insertion point is before the word Reading there in the sixth paragraph, so it’s just there. On the Home tab, the right hand editing group at the top there is Find and we’re going to go for the second option which is Advanced Find. Now if I select Advanced Find, I get the Find and Replace dialog. Now it’s a pretty straightforward dialog to use. You type what you’re looking for; in this case Choose and you click on Find Next. Now, watch what happens. The insertion point is just before the word Reading, paragraph six, click on Find Next, and it finds an occurrence of Choose in paragraph seven actually. Now the reason I’m mentioning these paragraphs and paragraph numbers is to point out an important difference between this and using the Navigation Pane and that is that when you’re using this Find and Replace approach the Find starts at the insertion point; so it starts where the cursor is now and it carries on from that point to the end of the document. When it gets to the end of the document, it goes back to the beginning and cycles right round to where you started from a
