Why would this jump to the value 2 (which happens to be the value of constant wdReplaceAll) as soon as the .Execute(...) is executed? Also, the results indicate that this is what has been replaced. The text "2" was replaced with the replacement text.

No; Anschrift1 (address) is the field name. Çetin gave the solution - the first parameter is the text to be searched. I had assumed I could use the first named parameter as the first parameter.
