Sorry this will not fix you problem, I was thinking of a different issue. Bruce is correct they simple but ugly way to fix the incorrect bibliographic records is to edit the document text file. To do this you need to
set Tools->Options->Load/Save->General->'Size optimization for XML format (no pretty printing)' to off. Save you document again. Rename your file XXXX.sxw to XXXX.zip . Open the XXXX.zip file and extract the content.xml. This is the document contents. Do a global find and replace on your bibliographic records, save the content.xml file, re-zip the package and rename the file to .sxw . It is ugly.
