>The easiest way that I've found to figure out what code is needed to do a specific task in Word is to record a macro of yourself doing that specific task and then view the resulting macro (VBA) code and replace the non-dynamic elements with whatever dynamic elements you want to add to the script.

Good idea.

Selecting all the text and selecting the Search/Replace dialog resulted in the following code:

Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "orgiginal"
.Replacement.Text = "modified"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll


This should work in vb if you apply it to a Word object.
