modify previous comments contents

[Guest]

hello

is there any way I can change previous comments in one procedure?

for example, I have one document with many comments like as "rich1" "rich2"
.. how can I change them to

to "Richard1" "Richard2"?

thanks a lot.

Try CTRL H Find What

rich1
Richard1

Click Replace All

Works fine 2007 with Review Tab open.

Sorry try CTRL H Find wHAT

rich
richard
Replace all

Hopefully there are no words "rich" on their own or "Richard" already.

Also look at Greg Maxey MVP's Find and Replace

PS: mine ms word is 2003.

should work in 2003, just did it
Go to Menu Tools Options Track Changes Only for comments/formatting turned
on right percentage

CTRL H

rich

Richard

You would get Richard1 Richard2 from rich1 or rich2....

Richard, sorry you are talking about "AUTHOR" such as "Rich1" or "Rich2".
No author cannot be a global replace as far as I know.

Sorry if my response was misleading.
