Default Word substitution

I seem to remember that MS Word had a feature whereby a name or a word that was used throughout a document could easily be changed. In other words, lets say a name appears 25 times in a Word doc. But I want to change that name to a different on. Rather than make that change 25 times, I thought Word had a feature where it could be done automatically.

I tried highlighting the name and then going to Tools>Spelling & Grammar but if the name is not misspelled, it ignores it.

Don't know how keyboard shortcuts are handled in Word for Mac, but the usual shortcut for the FRind/replace dialogue in Word for Windows is ctrl + H. Try ⌘ + H, perhaps?

The 2010 for Windows ribbon offers Find, Replace and Select in a group of editing commands at the right-hand end of the ribbon – playing with fonts and formatting is given more prominence than actually working with text <g>.

In Word for Mac it looks like it is ⌘ + F. But you put me on the right road.

Thanks.
