Yes Daiya, exactly. And thank you. Kind of like a spreadsheet. You can
have any number of cells in a spreadsheet equal another cell. Change the
original cell, and all the others will change as well.

However, the article you linked to still leaves me a little puzzled.
Because it wasn't for your question, it was for Cathy, as it's a more
efficient way of doing what she described as:
I use Find and Replace for small and simple replacements,
such as using initials or abbreviations when typing a
document, and then later doing Find and Replace when
finalizing it.

Knowing Suzanne had already answered your question, I was just trying to
correct Cathy's misconception.

Cathy, if you are using abbreviations that you replace later using Find and
Replace, it would probably be more efficient for you to set up your own
AutoCorrect entries. See here for a full explanation of what I mean:

The original poster did not mean like find and replace, though. He meant
something more like AutoFill--a form requires you to type your name 6 times,
you type it once, it automatically fills in the other 5 times.
