Finding and Replacing Text.


One way to ensure that the text in your documents is consistent and accurate is to use the
Find feature to search for every occurrence of a particular word or phrase. For example,
if you are responsible for advertising a trademarked product, you might want to search
your marketing materials to check that every occurrence of the product’s name is correctly
identified as a trademark.
Clicking the Find button (not the arrow) in the Editing group on the Home tab displays
the Navigation task pane with the Search tab active. As you type characters in the Search
Document box at the top of the task pane, Word highlights all occurrences of those
characters in the document and displays them in the search results list in the Navigation
task pane.
Keyboard Shortcut Press Ctrl+F to display the Search tab of the Navigation task pane.

The Navigation task pane shows enough of the text surrounding the search term to identify its context.
