D)Note that items must be precisely spelled for the "replace all" function to work. If you misspell a word by even one letter, the "replace all" function will not be able to find the word. Also, when using the "replace all" function beware of inadvertently changing words that you don't intend to change. For example, if you change all instances of "mom" with "dad" you will end up changing words such as thermometer and momentary as well as "mom."
