But don't forget this method copies and replaces the formatting too, unless your variable definition sets the formatting.
Cheers, Rebecca >>> Peter Gold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/15/06 3:20 AM >>> Hi, John: Have you tried Find/Replace, as: * Create the new variable. * Insert one instance of it. * Copy to clipboard. * Find an instance of the old variable. * Replace by pasting. If this works, open all files in the book, save all files in the book, then Find/Replace across the book. Check representative replacements across the book before saving all files.
