Finding Multiple Items

S

srm

I'm using Word 2003. Is it possible to Find on multiple items. For
example, let say I want to search on a document for "snow", "rain" and
"wind" and change all occurrences of those words to "weather". I can
do one at a time but like to be able to search on all three words at
once - "snow", "rain", "wind" and change them to weather. Is this
possible?

Thank you.

What about the following:

Check the box for using wildcards.

Find: *snow*rain*wind*


Replace with: weather


But I would rather do multiple searches to increase the probability of
correct replacement.
