Here is a look at the keyboard shortcuts you need to know to do just that.

Word Keyboard Shortcuts to Find and Replace Text

While you’re in a large Word document, you can easily find text by hitting Ctrl + F. Then, type the word or phrase you’re looking for in the navigation pane. When the word or phrase you are looking for is found, each instance will be highlighted in the document. Just this step alone makes it much easier to manage the specific text you’re looking for.

If you want to find and replace text in a Word document, use the key combo Ctrl + H. That will bring up the “Find and Replace” dialog box. Then type in the word or words you’re looking for and what to replace them with. Then click the “Replace All” button.

Word will go through and replace the text. When complete, it will display the following message letting you know the task is complete. Click OK.

Use the Ctrl + F keyboard shortcut to find the text that was replaced. Looks good!
