Question

After saving the changes she made, Sally notices that she used the word "home” too many times in her paragraph. She decides to make her paragraph more interesting by replacing "home” with "shelter” in a few places in the paragraph. How should Sally accomplish this task? She should double-click the word “home,” then type the word “shelter.” She should select the word “home,” press the Delete key two times, then type the word “shelter.” She should insert the cursor in front of the word “home,” press the Backspace key four times, then type in the word “shelter.” She should insert the cursor at the end of the word “home,” press the Delete key four times, then type in the word “shelter.”

Answer 1

Answer: She should double-click the word “home,” then type the word “shelter.”

Sally would be able to replace the "home" words faster and easily by double-clicking the word "home" and then type the word "shelter". This is mainly due to the quick formatting that Microsoft Word does when overwriting over a selected word.

Another alternative that Sally could use is actually the Replace Tool. The tool can be used to change a word or a group of text with the users choice. The Replace Tool can be found on the Home tab of MS Word. Sally could easily change the word "home" to "shelter" by simply clicking on "Find Next" and "Replace" when the highlighted word is selected.

Answer 2

Sally would double click the word, Home, and just replace it with the word, Shelter.

There is no need to go for other options like clicking the word and deleting it with the delete button, or putting cursor after the word and press backspace. The best option is to double click the word and replace it where needed.

She can also change the word, Home, with some other word by just clicking on the word, Home, and right clicking on it and finding the synonyms for that word. through this, she can replace one word with many other options.
