If you need to change specific formatting in Microsoft Word 2007, there are a few different ways to go about it. You can use the Formatting toolbar, the Quick Access Toolbar, or the Home tab. To use the Formatting toolbar, click the Text button and then click the Format button. The Formatting toolbar will appear on the right side of your screen. To use the Quick Access Toolbar, press Ctrl+Shift+F (or Cmd+Shift+F on a Mac). The Quick Access Toolbar will appear at the top of your screen. To use the Home tab, click the Home tab and then click in the text area to open up the Home tab. Then click in the Font group and select a font from the list. Click in the Paragraph group and select a paragraph style from among those listed. Finally, select a font size from among those listed and press Enter (or Return on a Mac). ..
You can easily search and replace all bolded or italicized text in a document, for instance. Or you could remove that ugly Heading 2 style they used… what were they thinking using bright red?
Open up the Find and Replace dialog from the menus, or just use the Ctrl+H keyboard shortcut.
Click in the blank Find box, and then you can use the regular keyboard shortcuts to specify specific formatting. For instance, if you wanted to replace all bolded text with regular text, you’d use Ctrl+B in the “Find what” box, or for italics you would use Ctrl+I. You can even use multiple search criteria here.
If you have styles that are more difficult to replace with simple keyboard shortcuts, you can click the “More” button on the lower left-hand side to show a lot more options.
The “Format” dropdown will give you access to select specific formatting options, like fonts or styles. Just make sure that you first click in the “Find what” box before you select an option.
For the “Replace with”, you’ll need to click in that box first, and then select the options that you want just the same.
