Hi Luc,
I had a bit of a struggle with this myself. WritePro is sometimes a lot more 
compilcated than good old Write.
It boils down to this:

$lPosition:=Position("MySearchText";WP Get text($oMyWriteProObject;wk 
expressions as space))
$oRange:=WP Text 
range($oMyWriteProObject;$lPosition;$lPosition+Length("MySearchText"))
WP SET TEXT($oRange;"MyNewText";wk replace)

Hope that helps.
