You can export to spreadsheet, cut the netlabel column and paste into excel,
perform
a search and replace in excel, paste this column back into the Protel
spreadsheet,
then update spreadsheet to change the netlabels on your schematic.
Its a little bit flakey when it updates from spreadsheet to
Michael,
Just to make sure this is not the problem.
A common mistake when using the global edit to update fields like the
Footprint field, or Part Field values... basically any property that has a
{} in the Copy Attributes field for changing text fields.
The thing to keep in mind with the {} is

Just another question in the same context.
Is it possible in SCH to do a global rename of net labels with all
different names, in order to add a letter to them?
Example: I want to rename signals ABC, DEF, GHI, ... to Z_ABC, Z_DEF,
Z_GHI, ..., without having to change every signal name manually.
I could find no way to do this.
It might be possible... but I don't think so. The global edit in this way
does not use Wildcards in the Curly Braces comparison. If Wildcards * and ?
could be used then this would be possible like this {*=z_*} But this will
not currently work.
If the netnames ar
