Find and Replace not working within template Grizzman <grizzman_1[ at ]hotmail.com> 26.09.2006 23:04:49 I downloaded the Employee Manual Outline from MS template page. i am trying to replace the field/text[Organization Name]which also has a gray background with our company name. Unfortunately it wont work. After searching the doc it comes back with zero found, zero replaced. i try edit field, nothing i can see that will allow this. does this issue have to do with the fact that it is a template? in any case how can i use replace in a template? Thank in advance for all the help Mark

Use F9 to toggle the fieldcode on and from the fieldcode you should be able to see a better way of globally changing it. Alternatively, search for the field and replace it. -- Terry Farrell - Word MVP http://word.mvps.org/ "Grizzman" <grizzman_1[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:12hjcgn98v85k7c[ at ]corp.supernews.com...

Re: Find and Replace not working within template Grizzman <grizzman_1[ at ]hotmail.com> 28.09.2006 21:12:31 it didn't work, F9 didn't toggle anything, after right clicking on the field it allowed me to toggle the fieldcode. however i did not see, or do not know any better way to do this. i tried to search for the field and it came back empty. i ended up just copying and pasting what i needed over 33 pages. maybe next time thanks!

Re: Find and Replace not working within template "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 28.09.2006 21:23:23 You actually need Alt+F9 to toggle field codes, F9 to update them. -- Suzanne S.

Re: Find and Replace not working within template "TF" <terryfarrell%40%6d%73%6e%2ecom> 29.09.2006 06:36:33 Sorry about that: as Suzanne pointed out, it is Alt+F9 to toggle fieldcodes. What would help if you let us see the fieldcodes. When you search for fields, what doesn't work? Doesn't it find fields? It would also be useful to know why you want to replace all the fields and with what? There may be a much easier solution if we knew your goal.
