The replace function in Microsoft word is an important function that helps you to replace one character or word with another. Replace lets you quickly change the text in your document so that it uses the correct spelling of a specific word. For instance, if you wanted to change the word “marvel” to “Marvel”, you would use the following steps: 1. Find and Copy all instances of “marvel” in your text, which will give you a list of words in your document 2. Select all these words and paste them into a new document 3. Type Marvel in one box and then select Replace from the Edit menu

It usual process to find and replace text in Microsoft Word is to first make sure the selection is highlighted and then press F8. There are two other keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl+H and Ctrl+F8. To change all instances of "I" to "we" in a document, press Ctrl+H and type "we" instead of "I". To replace the word "myself" with "ourselves", press Ctrl+F8 and type “ou” instead. Myself We ourselves Ourselves
