[nabs-l] Find and Replace in Microsoft Word

[justin williams]

select what you want, Copy the word with control c, go to the beginning of
the document, then press control h and paste it into the field with control
v.  Then,  tab to replace, type in what you want to replace it with, then
either tab to or hit alt a for replace all.  then, hit inter for okay, and
then escape to get out of the dialogue box.

Hi Cindy, When I fill in my find text and my replace text and then simply
press enter, it finds and replaces all by default.
Best, Arielle
