In 
long documents like this one, I sometimes
have trouble finding a specific word or phrase

00:00:13.019 --> 00:00:17.289
that I know is in there somewhere. The Find
feature can help by searching the document

00:00:17.289 --> 00:00:18.740
for you.

00:00:18.740 --> 00:00:25.850
Click the Find command on the ribbon… then
type the word or phrase you're looking for.

00:00:25.850 --> 00:00:30.910
The results will show up in the left pane,
and will also be highlighted yellow.

00:00:30.910 --> 00:00:36.280
You can use the arrows here to jump to each
instance of the word. If it’s a word that

00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:41.050
appears multiple times, you can scroll through
a list of the results.

00:00:41.050 --> 00:00:44.780
At times, you may find that you've made a
mistake throughout your document, or you need

00:00:44.780 --> 00:00:47.640
to swap a certain word or phrase for another.

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:50.450
For that, you can use the Replace command
instead.

00:00:50.450 --> 00:00:56.640
I actually need to change “Sewanee Review”
to the abbreviation “SR”.

00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:04.489
Now when you're ready, click Find Next in
the dialog box… then click Replace. Replace

00:01:04.489 --> 00:01:09.779
All can save you even more time by changing
every instance in the document automatically.

00:01:09.779 --> 00:01:13.499
When it comes to using Replace All though,
it’s important to remember that it could

00:01:13.499 --> 00:01:18.490
find matches you didn’t anticipate, and
might not actually want to change.

00:01:18.490 --> 00:01:22.279
Generally, you don't want to use Replace All
because it doesn't give you the option of

00:01:22.279 --> 00:01:26.819
skipping anything you don’t want to change.
So you should only use this option if you're

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:33.409
absolutely sure that it won't replace anything
you didn’t intend it to.

00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:37.039
Now that you know how to use Find and Replace,
you can put this time-saving technique to

00:01:37.039 --> 00:01:38.560
work in your Word documents.
