Does anyone know how to change a character's name in a script on Microsoft Word? I have a play script and want to change one of the names. There is a way of changing the name throughout the script in one go, without physically deleting/changing each one at a time.
I have never found a way. I think you might have to do it the long way.
I think you go to 'edit' in the toolbar menu and click 'find' or 'replace'? A box should pop up. Fill it in and select the option 'replace all'.

Go to edit on the toolbar then scroll down to replace and it will replace all of what you want replaced with what you want to replace it with.
Yeah!!! That did it, thanks Leevil and MarcP

I just pissed myself laughing. Nice one.
Find and replace......a gag used in The (US) Office!
