Default Word Replacement

All good suggestions Herb. I also regularly "search" for spacewordspace
then replace spacetermspace as a work around.

And... keep in mind that if the word you're replacing is contained in the
interior of other words, they will be changed, too... perhaps contrary to
what you want (e.g., if you replace "live" with "exist", you might end up
replacing relive, liver, and liverworst with things such as reexist,
exister, and existerworst). So, you might want to click the More button
andpay attention to options such as Find whole words only, Match case, and
Find all word forms.

Is there a way that I can replace one word in a document that is in
it like 100 times


Use the Replace dialog (Ctrl+H). Put in the word that's in the document,
and the text you want to replace it with, and click the Replace All
button.
