Find/Replace

Writer has a feature that allows you to find and replace a word that appears throughout the document. This can be done by going to EDIT, FIND/REPLACE in the menu bar, or you can click on the button with binoculars (pictured above) in the tool bar. A screen will pop in which you will type the words to find and replace (figure 14). Type the text you would like to find in the top box and the text you want to replace it with in the bottom box. Make sure to check the “Match Case” box if you want it to be case specific.
