Yes 2 does work - and you don't work blind unless you click Replace all. You can see exactly what was there and how it will look when the replacement is done and you have the opportunity to Skip if it's found another similar citation which is OK. Yes 3 works as well though I didn't test it extensively for something in every field. I rarely post without checking. I also try to check that I'm using the language the program uses but sometimes I slip up. It sounds as if you asked it to look in the Master Source and then looked for text that was in the Source Detail which is a completely different source?
