Is there a way to search for a word and "change" all mis-spellings at one time?

I've already typed profiles in word docs. Starting years ago we always Capitalized surnames to see easily. Wikitree I think doesn't approve of that.
In word I can search the word "daybook" and "change all" to "Daybook". Is that possible somewhere in wiki's formatting? As the profile database is huge it will be a horrendous job to change each one . . .
Thank you!! Barb

I get it! Just do the changes in word before I transfer it!
Brilliant, thank you, Louis!!
I do a lot of editing in word myself, especially large files :)
