You can also use the Find and Replace commands to search for and correct words in a document. For example, if you have created an assignment to use during January 1998 and now want to use the same assignment in March of 1999, you can have Word 2000 find all instances of "January" and "1998" and replace them with "March" and "1999." 
Word 2000 also finds and replaces all grammatically inflected forms of a word. For example, if you want to replace the word "saw" with the word "hammer" throughout a document, Word 2000 intelligently changes not only "saw" to "hammer," but also "sawing" to "hammering" and "sawed" to "hammered." Word 2000 can also intelligently replace the right word forms-in this example, Word 2000 would not replace the verb "seen" with "hammer" although it is a word form of "saw" because "seen" is unrelated to "hammer." In addition, Word 2000 provides alternative word forms, giving you choices for possible replacements in case the default choice is not ideal. You can select the replacement from a list rather than typing it.
