How to swap two words in a Microsoft Word document?

Question

I have a very long file which refers certain persons as Petitioners and certain persons as Respondents. I want to swap these two words so that the Petitioner is changed to Respondent, and vice versa.Can this be done automatically?

Answer 1

Yes! The easiest way to do this would be the Find and Replace option. Use control+H (or home >edit > find and replace), type the word you want to replace in, and what you would like to change it to! You can go one by one of all at once. I suggest doing a spell check before hand to make sure all of the initial words you want to replace will be found by the system.
