Find and replace AFTER a specific point

Question

Is it possible to do a Find and Replace after a specific point in a document. For instance: I have a character named Elisabeth through the first part of the document. Later, she goes by the shortened version, Lissy. I want to change all the instances of Elisabeth after she tells people to call her Lissy. I've tried the find up or down checkbox, using 'down'. Didn't work. It change all of them to Lissy.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Select the part of the document where you want the changes to occur. To select a large part of the end of the document, click at the beginning of that area, hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys, and press the End key. Then set up the Replace dialog and click the Replace All button. Word will show the number of replacements made and ask whether to search the remainder of the document; click the No button.

I need to pay more attention. Yes, your solution worked perfectly. But had I been paying attention, checking the down box also worked. What I did was hit Yes when it asked to check the rest of the document instead of no. Live and learn.

Thank you for your time.
