Ken,
As usual, you always come to the aid of others. Thanks! This seems to work
great!

Here's a replacement function - it's a little messy (because I have to
wrap 'whatText' in spaces at the beginning and strip them at the end),
but it works:

There seems to be a problem if a replaceable word is the
first word of a sentence, and obviously, capitalization seems
to be an issue.

I need to switch the gender of some text. But, I'm having a hard time

Replace HE with SHE in someText

In this case can you not consider spaces to be part of the 'word' ? In which
case a direct replace would work.
ie HE - SHE
HIS - HER
This would avoid HELP - SHELP and THIS - THER

Yes, but I can't assume the pronouns will be ONLY in the middle of a
sentence. Searching for He will not work in He is a good boy.
or Him in We like Him.

Ken,
I can't get [your] function to work. It never exits out of the repeat.
Although the matchChunk does return true, the tStart and tEnd variables

never being filled with anything. What am I doing wrong?
(Please excuse my ignorance in regards
Sorry, Dan, it looks like a typo. This line:
put char tStart to tEnd of tText into tFoundChunk
should read:
put char tStart to tEnd of whatText into tFoundChunk
Then everything should work OK. Sorry about that...
