Find and Replace

[Guest]

How do I clear the Find and Replace history so that the recipient of a new
document cannot tell the changes I made to generate it?

I use the following macro with a shortcut and assigned to a toolbar in 2003
and works 2007:

Sub ClearFindAndReplaceParameters()

With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With

End Sub

Hope this helps.

Your Find and Replace parameters are on your machine only - a different user
is going to have their own settings each time they run Find and Replace. I
am not sure I have interpreted your question correctly.

Save it as plain text which does not store anything but the text.
