Change a name of a charactor in a novel automatically

[Helleon]

I am writing anovel and have decided to change the name of several
charactors. I would like to do this automatically . Is there anyway in "Word"
to do this.

You can use Edit | Replace.
Find: OldName
Replace with: NewName

I followed your instructions and yes it changed the name of Ted to Lloyd ,
however it also changed every word that ended with ted. How do I stop it from
doing this. I only want a name change.

Check the boxes for "Match case" and "Whole words only."

Thank you both for great answers. It saved me a great deal of time to be able
to change names of my charactors so easily. Many,many thanks.

I did the same thing but Word capitalized the new name. Why did this take
place?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Did you want the name capitalized? Was the name you were replacing
capitalized? Did you type the name into the "Replace with" box capitalized?
I'm not sure I understand your question. Give us more detail on what result
you were expecting (what word you were trying to replace with what other
word) and what result you got instead.
