I use a good text editor like Aurora, TextPad or HomeSite which allows you
to do multiple file search & replace, preferably with regular expression
searching.
One of the pitfalls is the text you add to layouts is contained within the
workspace file. So if you have a feature named "Mount Rama" and a drive path
of "M:\Rama\data\" and you S&R "Rama" with "Botha" your new path of
"M:\Botha\data\" will be correct, but you will also have changed the name of
Mount Rama...
Other than that search and replace routines work wonderfully.
