We first switch to the Home tab and click on Replace. Remember the scenario we created earlier, let’s assume we used the British spelling of “color” in place of its American counterpart and would like to correct that. Note : Replace All replaces all occurrences of the word you want to replace including those you might not want to replace. Select Find Next to locate the first occurrence of the word in the Find what box and click on Replace to replace the word you just found (highlighted in gray) with the replacement text in the Replace what box or click on Replace All to replace all occurrences of the word in the Find what box. In the Find what box, type the word or phrase you want to locate, and in the Replace with box, type in the new text (replacement text). Note : The Find button on the ribbon is used to only locate a word, phrase, or other characters while the Replace button combines the function of the Find button with a tool for replacing words that have just been found. It immediately opens a Find and Replace dialog box or window. Switch to the Home tab on the Ribbon at the top of the document if you are not there yet and click on Replace.
