Hey there. Welcome back. It’s Cindy again. We are in module 2 which is the Getting Started with Word module and we’re all the way down to section 6, Go To, Find, and Replace Options.

Now sometimes when you’re working with especially larger files you might need a quick way to go to page 900 for some reason or a quick way to replace several words in that document. So let me just talk to you a little bit about how to use the Go To, Find, and Replace options in Word.

When you’re working in your file and you want to use the Find, Go To, or Replace options you might want to think about starting at the very top of the document because all of these searches will start from wherever your mouse is clicked. Now I want to show you a basic Find just to start with.

I’m on the Home tab and I’m going to go all the way to the right and you’ll see Find here. Now I could just click the Find but if I click the down arrow I get a couple of choices. Let me start with Find.
So let’s say that I’m looking for a particular word and let’s say that I’m looking for the word Firm. I can just type in the word Firm and when I hit the Enter key notice that it finds all the instances of the word Firm and it selects them and puts in yellow here for me. So that’s a quick way if you’re just trying to get it to find some words for you. But let me do this. I’m going to go ahead and close that navigation on the left there and I’ll make sure I’m clicked at the top again.

Sometimes you know you’ve got a certain paragraph in here and you can scroll all day long and you just miss it. So if I use the Advanced Find right up here this is going to allow me to put in specific words I’m looking for and it will find them one at a time. So let me move this out of the way. Let’s say that I’m looking for the word Properties. Now I’m going to go ahead and hit this Find Next and you’ll see that it stopped on the first instance of Properties that it came to. If that’s not the instance I want I’m going to hit Find Next again and notice it found the next one. And so on and so forth. So that’s a good way to have it search and just look for them one at a time for you.
I did want to mention over here where you see this More, if you just click on that there’s some additional choices you can tell it to use in the search. For example, this Match Case, if I check it it has to find the word Properties with a capital P because that’s the way I typed it in.

Otherwise if I leave it unchecked it doesn’t matter if it’s a capital or a small P. Find Whole Words Only. If I had the word He typed up here it would find He’s or any word with He in there. So if you’re looking for a specific word without the S at the end and that sort of thing check Find Whole Words Only.

Wild Cards. Let me give you some examples of Wild Cards. A star is a great example. What if I had the letter S typed up here and I typed this with a star? That would tell me to find any word that starts with an S no matter what it ends with. And you can used wild cards at the beginning, at the end or you can have text in between either one. If I have this that means the word can start with anything and it has to end with an S. So that’s one example. Another example might be what if I have let’s say the letter A and I put two question marks? That means the word has to start with an A and it can only have three characters total in the word. So that’s a couple of examples of wild cards. You may not use them a lot but just know they’re there.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
