In most cases a certain word or phrase is all you need when you're searching through a Word document. But on occasion you may want to find something other than a word. You are likely already familiar with Word's find-and-replace function, a function that can quickly find words or phrases and replace them with something else. However, Word is capable of finding graphics, punctuation, formatting and even font styles such as italics.
