In long documents like this one, I sometimes have trouble finding a specific word or phrase that I know is in there somewhere. The Find feature can help by searching the document for you. Click the Find command on the ribbon then type the word or phrase youre looking for. The results will show up in the left pane, and will also be highlighted yellow. You can use the arrows here to jump to each instance of the word. If its a word that appears multiple times, you can scroll through a list of the results. At times, you may find that youve made a mistake throughout your document, or you need to swap a certain word or phrase for another. For that, you can use the Replace command instead. I actually need to change Sewanee Review to the abbreviation SR. Now when youre ready, click Find Next in the dialog box then click Replace. Replace All can save you even more time by changing every instance in the document automatically. When it comes to using Replace All though, its important
