I've tried using Find/Replace to replace sentences/paragraphs in Word 2002.
It will only accommodate a limited number of words. What's the best way to
rapidly replace larger sentences or paragraphs within a document? Thanks
 
Hi Lisa

The find and replace boxes are limited to 255 characters. Word will just
truncate any more than you type or paste into those boxes.

Would using an AutoText help?

Hope this helps.

You can use wildcards to find sentences and/or paragraphs and you can
replace with the clipboard contents which can be many pages and include
graphics. I guess it depends what you are trying to replace with what.
