The macro is a great solution - I was not aware it existed. There is an alternative that is very useful for this and other tasks of this kind - edit that ASCII format SchLib. The format is not too hard to figure out and if you are doing a simple text change even easier. Backup the library first of course. If you are working within the DDB and wish to use the Protel text editor to do the ASCII edits right click on the ascii library and changes its properties to be a text document. dbl-click to open. when you have finished, don't forget to change the properties back to a SchLib document. Also, you will probably want to open it and Save As or Save Copy As back to a binary format. I used the alternative method below just the other day - but in my case I had some reorganizing of the fields as well so this macro would not have helped without some modification - and I only had about 20 parts to do.
