Word Intermediate course
how do I replace a word with another alternative
Hi Debby,
Thank you for your question.
You need to use the Replace command which is available on the Editing group under the Home Tab.
I hope this answers your question.

Simon

The Auto Numbering feature in Word can be both useful (when you want it to work) and annoying when you don't.
When you begin a list by typing 1 then press the space bar or tab key, and type in text, Word will automatically change the paragraph to a numbered list when the ENTER key is pressed. This will mean that the next paragraph is automatically numbered as 2.
If you do not want Word to continue sequentially numbering any following paragraphs, you can turn off Auto Numbering. To do this, go to Tools-Auto Correct Options. In the Auto Correct dialog box, click the "Auto Format As You Type" tab. Deselect the "Automatic Numbered Lists" checkbox, then click OK to close the box.
To turn Auto Numbering back on, go back into Tools-AutoCorrect Options and recheck the "Automatic Numbered Lists" option.
