How to make a global change in Frontpage?

[Guest]

I have a website with over 1800 pages that I need to change. I want to change
the html at the end of the body but don't want to have to open and change and
save every one of these pages individually. Any ideas on how to do a global
change in Frontpage, maybe doing a find and replace? I have 2002 version of
Frontpage and it does not let me do more than one line of text.

Thanks.

I use a text replacer program "TextReplacer v1.4e" which should still be
still available on the net as it is easy to use and works. I have a similar
sized site and use it all the time for basic changes. You have to be careful
in FrontPage and make sure the html you want to replace is unique. i.e.
changing
</body>
</html>
to
htmlcode
</body>
</html>
is a snap. You have to make certain that the html code you want to change is
exactly the same on each page where you want to make the replacement. There
is a limit on the amount of code you can actually change, I forget what it
is now.
After running TextReplacer if you do, it is a good idea to recalculate your
links afterwards to get the _vti files in synch with the changed pages.
Good luck.
