VIM: Finding and replacing first N occurrences of a word

Question

I am editing a file and i want to change only a specific word with another word, but only for first N occurrences. I tried multiple commands

N :s/word/newword/

Answer 1

My PatternsOnText plugin provides (among many others) a command that takes answers in the form of either yyynyn or 1-5:

:%SubstituteSelected/word/newword/g 1-5
