In MS Word, what does the Replace All button in Find and Replace do?

  • A.Changes every occurrence in the document at once
  • B.Changes only the first occurrence
  • C.Deletes the entire document
  • D.Reverses all changes made so far

Answer: C

Correct answer: Changes every occurrence in the document at once

Replace All changes every occurrence in the document in a single operation and reports how many replacements were made. Replace, by contrast, changes the current occurrence and moves to the next, allowing each to be judged individually. Replace All is best used with care, because a careless search string can do a great deal of damage - replacing art with craft will also alter party, start and heart unless Find whole words only is ticked. The result is undoable with Ctrl + Z, which undoes the entire operation as one step. The dialogue is more capable than it looks. Match case distinguishes capitals; formatting can be searched for as well as text; and special characters can be found by code - ^p for a paragraph mark, ^t for a tab - which makes it the standard way to tidy pasted text. With Use wildcards enabled it searches by pattern rather than by literal string.
