Ignore white-space characters in ‘Find and Replace’
You can ignore white-space characters when using ‘Find and Replace’ in Word. This helps you find words which are spelt both with a space and without, such as ‘webpage’ and ‘web page’, or ‘filename’ and ‘file name’. Press Ctrl+H to open the ‘Find and Replace’ box, then click the ‘More>>’ button and tick ‘Ignore whitespace characters’ ( 1 in our screenshot). Now type the word you’re looking for without a space (for example, webpage 2 ) and click Find Next. Word will find all examples of the word with spaces 3 , as well as without.
