The search and replace function is just the search function with the option of

replacing some or all occurrences with another text string. Applications include

quick correction of a misspelled or mistyped word everywhere that it occurs (from
“conveyer” to “conveyor” or vice-versa), replacement of key words (from “brother”

to “sister”), and capitalizing key words for emphasis (from “word processor” to
“WORD PROCESSOR”).

The word processor automatically reformats your document if the replacement
word is not the same length as the original.

Position the cursor at the beginning of the section that you wish to scan. If

you want to scan the entire document, for example, move the cursor to the

beginning of the text.
