On Microsoft word, how can I change all of the word 'Sarah' to 'Beth' throughout my document?

Question

Like, how do I change ALL of the word that I don't want and replace it with another word in its place.

Say if I used affect when I should have used effect in a 3 000 page document.. how do I fix that without manually correcting it?

Answer 1

The "Find and Replace" option in the edit portion of the MS Word toolbar will correct that problem easily.

Click on Find and Replace and follow the basic instructions.l

Answer 2

Find and Replace is the way to go, but a warning: To avoid headaches caused by mistaken replacements, make sure do the following in the Replace dialog box:

1. Click the More button.

2. Set the Find Whole Words Only checkbox.

3. If you're changing a name, also set Match Case.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Go to Edit>Find and click on the Replace tab. It will all come clear once you're in there.
