How do I limit 'find and replace' to the selected text? .
How do I limit the 'find and replace' function of MS Word to the selected
text only, not to the whole document? I wish to select a part of a large document in which I wish to replace some text. I want the replacement to be limited only to the selected part of the document, not the whole document. -- aasghar |

Place your cursor in a line one or two above the area you wish to search.
After you have entered your "find" and "replace" info, click on "find next". It will show you the first place it occurs after the cursor location and will be highlighted. Click "replace" and it will replace the highlighted text and automatically find the next place it occurs, if you don't want to change that one, click on "find next" again, otherwise just click on "replace" each time it occurs. Once you have finished checking the area in question, click on "close".

Select the passage you want to search: Click at the beginning, Shift+Click
at the end or whatever technique you prefer. When you run the F&R it will only affect the selected portion, then provide a prompt asking if you want to continue through the remainder of the doc - click No. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "aasghar" wrote in message ...
