Have you ever wanted to use text as a placeholder in a document to later replace it with a graphic you created?  Here’s an easy way:

 

1)      After you’ve completed it, place the graphic somewhere in your document (location is not important, as you will cut it from the document to place it on your clipboard).

2)      Single click on your graphic and press Ctrl+X to cut it from your document and into your clipboard.

3)      Press Ctrl+H to show the “Find and Replace” dialog box.

4)      Enter your placeholder text that you want to replace with the graphic in the “Find what” field.

5)      Enter “^c” (no quotes) in the “Replace with” field to pull the graphic from the clipboard.

6)      Select the “Find Next” button at the bottom of the dialog box, and “Replace” or “Replace All” (as appropriate).
