Find and replace text

You can easily find and replace text in Publisher the same way you would in Microsoft® Word:

1. Open the Edit menu and select Replace, or press Ctrl + h on your keyboard.

This opens the Find and Replace task pane:

2. Make sure the Replace option is selected.
3. In the Find what field, enter the text you want to find.
4. In the Replace with field, enter the new text you want to replace the original text with.
5. Under Find options, select any options you want to use. For example, unless you select Match whole word only, Publisher will replace all instances of the letters you enter, regardless of whether or not the letters comprise the entire word. This means that if you enter “the”, Publisher will replace the words “the”, “then”, and “them” with the replacement text.
6. Click Find Next.

Publisher moves to, and highlights, the next instance of the text you're searching for.

7. Click Replace to replace the text, or Find Next to keep searching.

If you're sure you want to replace all instances of the text in the publication (for example, if you've misspelled a person's name), click Replace All.

8. Publisher replaces all instances of the text.
