Finding and Replacing Text
Quickly
Have you ever finished a long document and realized after
20 pages that you have used
one word when you should have used another or misspelled a
name throughout?
In many of the Microsoft Office programs, including Word,
Excel and FrontPage, you are able to quickly find and
replace text
- To replace text, choose Edit from the menu bar.
- Then select Replace.
- In the Find What field, type the word that you have
used.
- In the Replace With field, type what you should have
used. You may also just leave it blank and it will
replace with nothing, removing all traces of the word
you want to delete.
- Then you can choose to either replace them all at
once or check each one by replacing one at a time.
Another place I've used this is when I'm
trying to meet a page max and I'm running low on space. I
will Find all the double spaces I do after ending
punctuation and replace them with single spaces.

Right-Click Printing
Thanks to Rick Prince at Bryan Station Middle School for
sending in the tip below!
"I’m not sure how much other people use the right click
menus, but lately I’ve gotten
into the habit of using the print feature from it. For
example, if you need to quickly print a document,
-
if you right-click on the document and
-
choose Print,
-
Windows will quickly open its associated program, print
the document for you, and then quickly close the
program.
This may only be helpful if you don’t need to make any
changes to Page Setup like page orientation or page size…but
for documents you’ve saved and printed previously, this can
save you some time from having to open the program and
actually click the print button and then close. I mainly use
it for
Word and PDF documents."
Thanks Rick! I couldn't have said it better myself! |
