I'm fairly certain you are referring to this plugin: http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#TiddlerTweakerPlugin and it *can* do what you want... but you have to be precise in how you get there: 1) Open TiddlerTweaker 2) Select all tiddlers tagged with "Word1": 2a) click on 'tags' command (upper right corner of listbox) 2b) Enter "Word1" in dialog box and press OK 3) Enable [x]tags checkbox in 'modify values' section 4) Enter "-Word1 +Word2" (without quotes) in the tags input field 5) Press "update tiddlers" button Note the "-" and "+" prefix on the tags you entered in step (4)... "-" means "remove this tag value" and "+" means "add this tag value". However... and this is important... any tag values that have neither symbol as prefix means "replace all the tags for this tiddler with the indicated value(s)". In step (2) you selected only those tiddlers that are already tagged with "Word1", and "-Word1 +Word2" means "remove Word1 and add Word2". Thus, when you update the tiddlers, all occurences of "Word1" are effectively replace with "Word2".
