Tips and common mistakes

• Use the exact spelling you want to replace, including spaces if the phrase has more than one word.
• Check whether you want to replace all occurrences, because this tool updates every match in the text.
• If nothing changes, the find text may not match the original exactly, including capitalization or punctuation.
• Review the output before copying it, especially when the same word appears in more than one context.
