While working with text, the user may need to find a specific word. In a Microsoft Office Word document, you do not have to re-read all the available pages to do this, you just need to use the search tools.
Instructions
Step 1
Start Word in the usual way and open the text file. To find a word in a document, make the "Home" tab active. In the "Editing" block, click on the "Find" miniature button with the image of binoculars. By default, this block is located on the right side of the toolbar. If you are more used to working on the keyboard, you can use the hot keys Ctrl and F.
Step 2
A new dialog box opens with the Find tab active. In the field of the same name, enter the word that you need to find in the text, and click on the "Find Next" button. The search will start from the word where the mouse cursor is positioned and will end after viewing the last word in the document. Take this into account when calling this function. When a word that meets the specified requirements is found, the search engine will highlight it.
Step 3
The search box is located on top of all windows. If in your document the same word occurs several times, and you need to find it and edit it in all text fragments, you do not need to close the search engine window. Just click the "Find Next" button until you have checked the entire text. At the same time, you can make changes to the offers.
Step 4
If you need to set special search parameters, click on the "More" button on the left side of the window. An additional panel will expand. Mark with a marker those fields that meet the appropriate search conditions: "Match case", search for "Whole word only", "Consider suffix" and so on.
Step 5
Pay attention to the "Special" button in the "Find" group. In the event that you need to find a special character, for example, a footnote, non-breaking hyphen or section break, click the indicated button and select one of the items in the drop-down list. Click the Find Next button.
