If you \t\tdon’t keep Gomer from barking, I’m going to call the cops and tell them \t\tthat you’re a drunken idiot and your dog Gomer is barking all night \t\twhile you lay slumped over the wheel of your parked car snoozing away in \t\tyour nightly stupor. That Wild Turkey you drink might be cheap but you \t\treally need to start drinking better booze – like the Crown Royal I \t\tserve at my pool parties.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I don’t \t\tcare where and how you snooze, Mr. Finch, but I will not tolerate Gomer \t\tinterrupting my snoozing. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Either \t\tkeep Gomer quiet, or I will call the cops.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n By-the-way, our annual pool party is next week. We hope you and \t\tElizabeth are planning on attending. And, feel free to bring Gomer too!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Best \t\tregards,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Eightball<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Now instead of going through \t\tby hand and changing all the Gomers to Barkys, or Wild Turkey to Old \t\tCrow you could simply use Find & Replace to do all the dirty work for you.<\/p>\n On your word processor or \t\ttext editor’s toolbar, click “Edit” then click “Replace”. You’ll see a \t\tdialog much like the one below. Under Find what: enter the word you want \t\tto replace. Under “Replace with:” enter the word you want to replace \t\t(DUH!). See?<\/p>\n Now, here’s what the letter \t\tlooks like after we’ve used Search and Replace to change all the \t\t“Gomers” to “Barkys”. This way you’re sure to get all the Gomers out and \t\tmake sure it says Barky instead. Nothing would be more embarrassing than \t\tto have Mr. Green know you’re sending him the same letter you sent to \t\tMr. Finch. A single “Gomer” not replaced by “Barky” would give you away!<\/p>\n Dear Mr. \t\tGreen,<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n If you \t\tdon’t keep Barky from barking, I’m going to call the cops and tell them \t\tthat you’re a drunken idiot and your dog Barky is barking all night \t\twhile you lay slumped over the wheel of your parked car snoozing.

EB makes me use it \t\tall the time now because when I’m typing and my brain is not engaged \t\tproperly, I tend to leave the “r” off “your”, or worse use “you’re” for \t\t“your” or “your” for “you’re”; “they’re” for “their” or “there” or vise \t\tversa. Anyway, you get the point. You can use Find & Replace to change \t\ta repeated word or words to something else quickly and easily and much \t\tfaster than going through it line by line looking for a certain repeated \t\tword. But, if you don’t know this feature is there, you wouldn’t think \t\tto use it. But, now you know it’s there and how to use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recently, it came to our attention that many folks don’t know how to use the “find and replace” feature of many Windows programs (like MS Word, WordPad, Notepad, and many others).
