Is there a way to find and replace a text string with a field nam.

[Guest]

I would like to replace a text string with a field name throughout the entire
document. The find/replace does not allow me to insert a field name. Is
there another way?

You would need to use a bit of VBA code for this:

Dim myrange as Range
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
While .Execute(FindText:="some string", MatchWildcards:=False,
Wrap:=wdFindStop, Forward:=True) = True
Set myrange = Selection.Range
Code to add the field using ActiveDocument.Fields.Add myrange, etc
Wend
End With

Type the field in the document, copy it to the clipboard, then replace your
text with the content of the clipboard (^c).
