OneNote should have a replace function.

[Callista21]

OneNote is missing one of the simplest functions available in seemingly every
software program---the ability to find and replace text. This is especially
useful when taking notes (the function of OneNote) so that one can use
shorthand and abbreviations while taking notes, and then replace all of the
abbreviations at once.

We've heard that request before and it's a good one. As a workaround you
might consider creating AutoCorrect entries to replace your shorthand with
their references as you go.

I agree whole-heartedly with Callista21's suggestion.

I use OneNote in part to keep track of suggestions I make on some forums. I
recently discovered that the URL to a Web site that I frequently reference in
my comments has changed. But there's no easy way to find and replace the URLs
(or any other text, for that matter) in my Notes.
