What are the exact "Find what" and "Replace with" settings you are using.

Word document. I have a series of book marks per page for a book group and
wanted to change the color of the title for all the bookmarks without
changing each individually.
I placed the cursor in the "Replace with" box and then changed the color of
the font which then shows up under the "Replace with" box. But it won't
replace when I select replace or Replace All.
Thanks

I can't say that's the clearest description I've ever read, but I'll assume
you're doing this:

1. Placing the insertion point in the empty "Find what" box, clicking More,
and choosing Format: Font.

2. Choosing your font color (say, Blue), which causes "Format: Font color:
Blue" to appear under the "Find what" box.

3. Placing the insertion point in the empty "Replace with" box and choosing
Format: Font: Color: Red, which causes "Format: Font color: Red" to appear
under the "Replace with" box.

4. Clicking Replace All.

This works for me.

Hi Suzanne
What you did is what I did also but I had already done some text changing
beforehand.. So I tried it again but this time changed the text
simultaneously and it worked. So there must have been some problem with the
text selection.
Thanks for your help.
