Finding and Replacing Text

The Find and Replace commands on the Home tab allow you to locate and change specific text in a presentation. Find helps you locate each occurrence of a specific word or set of characters, while Replace locates every occurrence of a specific word or set of characters and replaces it with a different one. You can change every occurrence of specific text all at once, or you can individually accept or reject each change.
