>>Mo,
>>You might use HeadersFooters collection to specifically serach & replace there all StoryRanges to do the replacement doc wise. ie:

>>arrReplace[2,1] = 'SearchMeToo'
>>arrReplace[2,2] = 'ReplaceWithAnother'

>>Local oWord As 'Word.Application'
>>oWord = Createobject('Word.Application')
>>With oWord
