G Guest Oct 22, 2007 #3 Perhaps I am missing something. I pressed ALTF9, then copied and pasted the code I wanted to find into Find, and the replacement code into Replace. WHen I did a search, Word claimed not to find anything. What am I doing wrong?

S Suzanne S. Barnhill Oct 22, 2007 #4 You can't paste the field code itself. You must search for and replace just a specific portion (the part after MERGEFIELD, for example). -- Suzanne S.
