Sometimes, you may want to find a word in order to replace it, such as when you need to replace a product name with an updated one throughout your document. It's easy to do this in the Home screen by clicking Replace on the Home ribbon. Just like the Find icon, the Replace icon appears in the Editing section.

After you click the Replace icon, the Find And Replace dialog box appears with the Replace tab open (see Figure 1.3). This dialog box is probably familiar to you if you've used previous versions of Word because it's been a standard feature (literally) for decades.

Type the existing text you want to find in the Find box. In the Replace box, type the replacement text. Now you can click one of three buttons:

 Click Next to have Word find and highlight the next instance of text in the document.

 Click Replace to have Word replace the next instance of existing text with the replacement text but not replace any other instance. To do that, you need to click the Replace button every time.

 Click Replace All to replace all instances of the existing text in the document with the Replacement text.

When you click Replace All, Word searches the document after the point where your cursor is located within the document. Once Word reaches the end of the document, a dialog box appears that asks if you want to continue searching from the beginning of the document. If you click Yes, Word continues searching and replaces any other existing text it finds. When Word finishes finding and replacing, a dialog box opens and tells you how many changes it made within the document.
