Good Lord. I'd forgotten I ever knew this <g>
Glad it helped,

>>I think the maximum string length using this method is 254. Something like the following should work:

>>    .FORMAT = .F.
>>    .MatchCase = .T.

>>    .Execute(,,,,,,,,,,2)		&& 2 = Replace all
>>  ENDWITH
>>ELSE
>>  * Can't use simple find/replace because replacement string is too long....
>>  DO WHILE .T.
>>    loRange = THIS.oWordDoc.RANGE(0,0)
>>    WITH loRange.FIND
>>      .TEXT = lcSearchString
>>      .FORMAT = .F.
>>      .MatchCase = .T.
>>      llFound = .Execute()
>>      IF llFound
