При работе с текстовыми документами часто приходится исправлять какие-то ошибки. При этом не редко такие ошибки повторяются по всему тексту и их исправление занимает достаточно много времени.
К счастью, в текстовом редакторе Word есть функции, которые позволяют значительно упростить такие рутинные задачи. Сейчас мы расскажем о том, как заменить слово в Word по всему тексту документа. Материал будет полезен как для современных версий Word (например, Word 2007, 2010, 2013 и 2016), так и для Word 2003.
Для того чтобы заменить слово в документе Word по всему тексту необходимо использовать специальную функцию, которая называется «Найти и заменить». Вызвать данную функцию можно разными способами. Самый простой вариант, это нажать комбинацию клавиш CTRL-H на клавиатуре. Данная комбинация клавиш универсальна и работает во всех версиях текстового редактора Word, включая Word 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 и 2016.
Также вы можете вызвать функцию «Найти и заменить» с помощью мышки. В новых версиях редактора Word, например, таких как Word 2007, 2010, 2013 и 2016, для этого необходимо перейти на вкладку «Главная» и нажать на кнопку «Заменить», которая находится ближе к правому верхнему углу окна.
В Word 2003 функцию для замены слов можно вызвать с помощью меню «Правка – Заменить».
Пользоваться функцией «Найти и заменить» очень просто. В окне «Найти и заменить» вы увидите два текстовых поля. Первое называется «Найти» и в него необходимо вводить слово, которое вы хотите найти и заменить в документе. Второе текстовое поле называется «Заменить на», сюда необходимо вводить слово, которое будет использоваться для замены первого слова.
Дальше есть два варианта: заменять слова по одному либо все сразу. Для того чтобы заменять слова по одному просто нажимайте на кнопку «Заменить». По первому клику слово будет выделятся в тексте, а по второму заменятся на новое.
Для того чтобы заменить сразу все слова по всему тексту документа нажмите на кнопку «Заменить все».
В этом случае Word сразу заменит все найденные в тексте документа слова и покажет окно с числом выполненных замен.
необходимо отметить, что при замене слов по одному, функция «Найти и заменить» начинает работать от текущей позиции курсора и после достижения конца документа переходит на его начало. А при замене сразу всех слов в документе слова заменяются по всему документу начиная с первой страницы. Изменить поведение функции «Найти и заменить» можно с помощью дополнительных настроек, которые можно открыть, кликнув по кнопке «Больше».
Здесь доступны настройки, которые позволяют учитывать регистр при замене, заменять слова только целиком, менять направление замены слов и т.д. Одной из самых полезных опций, которые здесь доступны, является возможность замены специальных символов с помощью кнопки «Специальный».
Таким образом можно, например, заменить все знаки табуляции на пробелы.

Working with text
If you’re new to Microsoft Word, you’ll need to learn the basics of working with text so you can type, reorganize, and edit text. You’ll need to know how to insert, delete, and move text, as well as how to find and replace specific words or phrases.
