Can I ask two questions please?
Do you need to preserve the formatting applied to the text? If not, then I
think that somewhere I have a piece of HWPF code that does a search and
replace. I am not at all certain about the state of the code and cannot
remember if I hit the same problem as you - and I may well have - but I am
willing to look it out if you think it might help.
Secondly, do you have to use HWPF/XWPF? The API is still immature and it is
really only suitable for realtively simple tasks. Better alternatives might
be OpenOffice which you can 'control' through it's UNO API or Word itself
that can be manipulated using OLE. You can ONLY use OLE if you are working
on a windows based PC and you have Word installed on that PC. OpenOffice is
more flexible but it still cannot be used - at least as far as I am aware -
as a document server, so it is best to have that application installed on
the PC you will be using for the search/replace operation.
