On a blank page, type the replacement text to use, or find it on a page.&lt;p&gt;2. Select the replacement text, and press Ctrl+C (⌘+C on Mac) to copy it to the clipboard.&lt;p&gt;3. Press Ctrl+F (⌘+F on Mac) to find on page, or Ctrl+E (⌘ + Option + F on Mac) search all open notebooks.&lt;p&gt;4. In the search box on the top left for Windows, top right for Mac, type the text to find.&lt;p&gt;5. In Windows, you can select Pin Search Results at the bottom of the results list, or press Alt+O to pin the list. Mac is already pinned.&lt;p&gt;6. In the Search Results pane on the side of your window, select a search result (a text link next to a page icon) to jump to the page where OneNote has highlighted the text it has found.&lt;p&gt;7. On the page, double-click or select each highlighted occurrence of the text, and press Ctrl+V (⌘  + V on Mac) to paste your replacement text over it.&lt;p&gt;Note:  When you replace a word or phrase in a sentence, you might need to type a space after the new text is pasted.&lt;p&gt;8. Repeat steps 6-7 for each additional page in the search results list.&lt;p&gt;Tip: If you&amp;#x27;ve got a lot of replacements on a single page, copy your text to Word, find and replace the text, and then paste back into OneNote.&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;support.microsoft.com&amp;#x2F;en-us&amp;#x2F;office&amp;#x2F;find-and-replace-text-in-notes-34b1f7f8-d327-40c5-8b0c-8419425ed68b&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;support.microsoft.com&amp;#x2F;en-us&amp;#x2F;office&amp;#x2F;find-and-replace-...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
