Answer: She should double-click the word "home," then type the word "shelter."

Sally would be able to replace the "home" words faster and easily by double-clicking the word "home" and then type the word "shelter". This is mainly due to the quick formatting that Microsoft Word does when overwriting over a selected word.

Another alternative that Sally could use is actually the Replace Tool. The tool can be used to change a word or a group of text with the users choice. The Replace Tool can be found on the Home tab of MS Word. Sally could easily change the word "home" to "shelter" by simply clicking on "Find Next" and "Replace" when the highlighted word is selected.

Sally would double click the word, Home, and just replace it with the word, Shelter.

There is no need to go for other options like clicking the word and deleting it with the delete button, or putting cursor after the word and press backspace. The best option is to double click the word and replace it where needed.

She can also change the word, Home, with some other word by just clicking on the word, Home, and right clicking on it and finding the synonyms for that word. through this, she can replace one word with many other options.
