How to use Find and Replace in Microsoft Word 2013

Description: When typing or editing a Word document, it can be tedious to type the same word over and over again. Rather than typing the same word or phrase repeatedly, you can simply give it a unique abbreviation, then find and replace all instances of the abbreviation with the full word or phrase. This guide will show how to use this feature in Word, known as Find and Replace.

  1. Under the Home tab select Replace.
    Word, Home Tab
  2. In the Find what field, type the abbreviation. Type the full word or phrase in the Replace with field. Click Replace All to complete, replacing all instances of that abbreviation in the document.
