In Word 2008 for Mac, you’re not limited to making word replacements when you use Find and Replace. You can make formatting changes as well, saving you time. For example, if you want to search for a certain word and make it appear in bold and italic text, you can easily do one search to make the change throughout the document.

Here’s how to use Find and Replace to make global formatting changes in a document:

'KeePass' is the password manager developed by Dominik Reichl. Any software by other developers that is using the name 'KeePass' in the software's name without any direct non-numeric prefix/suffix is abusing the name 'KeePass' and we do not recommend such software. For example, 'KeePassDroid' is ok, but 'KeePass Droid' is not. Keypass for mac. Download one of the KeePass application ZIP packages above, unpack it and move the contents into your 'Applications' folder. Alternatives For more ways to run KeePass 2.x on Mac OS X (especially how to run the latest version of KeePass 2.x), see the following discussion thread.

1Choose Edit→Find.

Optionally, press the Command key + F. The Find and Replace dialog appears.

2Type the word you want to replace in the Find What field. Click the Highlight All Items check box to locate all the occurrences of the word or phrase you’re searching for in the document.

If you don’t click the Highlight All Items check box, Word will find each occurrence of the word one at a time. Because you want to change them all, you want to highlight them all.

3Click the Find All button and then close the Find and Replace dialog.

All occurrences of the word are now selected.

4Choose Format→Font and choose the formatting you want from the Font Style list. Click OK.

Every occurrence of the word in the document now appears with the formatting you selected.

TextEdit is a small yet surprisingly powerful word processor. Use it to write memos, letters, diaries, novels, grocery lists, memoirs, or any other text document. You can create simple tables and automatically numbered or bulleted lists, add shadows to type, insert images, search and replace text, and more. But it’s not a full-blown word processor such as Apple’s Pages (check the App Store in your Dock) or MarinerWrite (MarinerSoftware.com) or the sweet, new Pagehand (Pagehand.com). Although TextEdit can’t do all the fancy things a big word processor can, it’s excellent for many projects.

If you’ve never used a word processor before and you don’t know how to open an application and save files, enter text, select text for formatting, cut/copy and paste, etc., please read The Little Mac Book first! This chapter assumes you know the basics of working in a word processor.

Create and Save a TextEdit Document

Open TextEdit (it’s in your Applications folder and in Launchpad). Then from its File menu, choose “New.” A blank window opens for you to start typing.

Choose how you want to see the document: From the Format menu, choose “Wrap to Window” (below, left) or “Wrap to Page” (below, right).

Save your document as usual (from the File menu, choose “Save..” give it a name, and store it in a folder where you’ll find it again). As you continue to work on your TextEdit document, an “Edited” button appears in the top-right corner of the document window. This is a visual clue that the document has been changed and you might want to save the changes (press Command S).

You can click that “Edited” button or triangle to choose from several options:

  • Lock prevents further changes. If you try to type, you get an option to Unlock it. This is not a secure lock—anyone can click the Unlock button.
  • Revert to Last Saved Version gives you the option to revert to the last time it was saved (either by you or by TextEdit), or you can revert to an older version, as explained on the opposite page.
  • Browse All Versions—see the opposite page.

AutoSave and versions

TextEdit automatically saves your document every hour as you work on it, as well as when you close it (it doesn’t ask—it just saves). In addition, you can (and should) save more often (press Command S).

As soon as you save and name a document, TextEdit keeps track of all previous versions of that document; that is, every time you save or TextEdit saves, a new version is stored. You can return to any of these versions, as explained below.

To manually save the current version, go to the File menu and choose “Save a Version,” or press Command S.

To save a document with another name or in another file format, go to the File menu and choose “Duplicate.” Save this new file with a new name.

Restore a previous version

To turn to a previous version of the document, click the top-right corner to get the menu shown below. Choose “Browse All Versions..” All previous versions of your document appear, as shown at the bottom of this page.

Click on the title bars to go back in time to previous versions, or click in the vertical timeline to view various versions. When you find the one you want, click the “Restore” button at the bottom of the screen.
