Activity 8: GLEE

The find and replace feature in Word is one of those elements that makes word processing so great. Editing a first draft

is often tough enough without having to find reoccuring text throughout a document. With find and replace, your

computer does the searching and swapping for you.

In this activity, you will open a summary from one of today’s hottest TV shows, “Glee,” and replace text within the

document.

2. Insert a header – Name GLEE Date
