Using the Find Command in Word

 

Word can quickly locate any tidbit of text anywhere in your document, from a bombastic oratory down to the tiniest iota of plot. The command used to find text is called, surprisingly enough, the Find command. This command dwells in the Edit menu. Follow these steps to use the Find command and locate text.

1. Think of some text you want to find.
2. Choose Edit, Find; or use the keyboard shortcut by pressing F2
3. Type the text you want to find.
4. Click the Find Next button to start the search.

If you want to find and replace, click on the Replace Tab when the Find window opens up, and tell Word what you want to replace.
