This is accomplished with the Find and Replace commands. The ability to locate text is particularly valuable for long documents. If many instances of text appear in a document and must be changed, replacing the text is more effi cient than editing each individual instance. Formatting and special characters can also be located and, if needed, replaced. Finding Text To locate specifi c text in Microsoft Offi ce, click Home Editing Find in the ribbon or press the [Ctrl][F] key combination. In Microsoft Excel, the Find and Replace dialog box is displayed (or the Find dialog box in Microsoft PowerPoint). In Microsoft Word, the Navigation pane is displayed on the left side of the window. To display the Find and Replace dialog box in Word, click the arrow next to the search box in the Navigation pane, and click Advanced Find… in the drop-down list. To use the Navigation pane in Word, click in the search box, and enter the word or phrase to locate. All instances of the search word are listed in the Navigation pane and highlighted throughout the document, as shown in Figure 4-19. Clicking an entry in the list automatically jumps the view of the document to that location and selects the word. To use the Find and Replace dialog box to locate text, click the Find tab in the dialog box (this is not in PowerPoint). Then, click in the Find what: text box, enter the word to locate, and click the Find Next button. The view of the document is automatically centered on the fi rst instance of the word, and the word is selected. By default, the search is conducted from the insertion point downward. To fi nd the next instance of the word, click the Find Next button again. Once the dialog box is closed after conducting a search, the [Ctrl][Page Down] and [Ctrl][Page Up] key combinations can be used to quickly fi nd the next or previous instance of the last search word. GS5 Key Applications 1.5 Access 2.3.1 Word 1.1.1, 2.1.1 FYI The [Ctrl][F] key combination is a shortcut common to most software for activating the Find command.
