Two questions about Microsoft word...

[m<o>j]

Unrelated:
1) You know how on I think it was Claris Works how you have the 'Find Word' feature that means that you can find all the examples of a certain word in your text and then change it to something else?(useful, say when writing fic and you decide to change a character's name or something)
Well is there a feature like this on Word, and if so,where is it?

2)What is happening when every letter you type deletes the one in front of it?
The only way I can get around it is by pressing enter, typing, then pressing backspace. Obviously this is a tiresome process. My friend says that there is nothing at all that can be done. Is she right? And if not, what is it that I can do?

1. right click on the word and the choose the synonyms option. or press shift+F7 to open up thesaurus.

2. your INSERT option or whatever you call it... is activated. press the insert button on your keyboard so when you type something in the beginning of a word, the letters wont get deleted.

I tried that and it only changes the one I click on...what I mean is that I want to change every example of that word that exists in my text, for example if I had written something, and I had a character called Jimmy, but then decided I wanted to call him James, I could go and replace every occurrance of the word 'Jimmy' to 'James'.

Thanks anyway!

you click the "insert" button on your computer

OR

at the very bottom, it has a line where it goes:

Page 1 Sec 1 1/1 etc. (the numbers change depending where your cursor is) now if you go along, you get to some letters. these are: REC, TRK, EXT and OVR

the OVR one should be black (if the letter you type overwrites the next letter) double click it and it greys out... that should solve it

I had a class over Microsoft Word and Excel, what frustrates me is that we don't have it on our computer! :angry:
