Hello mathGroup:

I have a program that has a23 in many places. I want to change the
notebook so each occurrence has an evaluated form of "Subscript[\
[Alpha], 23]".

When I run the Edit>>Find command in the front-end, the unevaluated
form is replaced. The "Replace with:" box is a plain text control so I
cannot paste the evaluated form.

Is it possible to make this replacement?

Thanks in advance.

Do the substitution with the InputForm, i.e., Subscript[\[Alpha], 23],
then select the cells and use the menu command

Cell | Convert To | TraditionalForm

Select the TraditionalForm menu item even if there is already a check next to it.

Thanks Bob....the only thing is I have to evaluate the cells one-by-
one after the replace...

So Maxim supplied this excellent result:
