Hi Carl R,

Find and replace text:
You can quickly search for every occurrence of a specific word or phrase.
1. On the Edit menu, click Find.
2. In the Find what box, enter the text that you want to search for.
3. Select any other options that you want.
To select all instances of a specific word or phrase at once, select the
Highlight all items found in check box, and then select which portion of the
document you want to search in by clicking in the Highlight all items found
in list.
4. Click Find Next or Find All.
To cancel a search in progress, press ESC.

HI Muffet Sorry don't mean to be dumber than a pocket full of rocks, but I
see no edit menu that I can click on. I am running Vista if that makes any
difference
