changing words that are repeated on several pages
in [Word VBA]

From: Associates on 12 Apr 2010 23:17 Hi, I was wondering if i could get some help here. I have a report document that has a specific word repeated on a several pages throughout the report. When you change or edit the word, the change will be applied to those pages that have the word in them throughout the report. My question is i think this can be done using Macro. However, the report is to be handed to someone whose company does not allow Macro implementation. Therefore, i wonder if this is still feasible with the use of Macro. I run on Office 03 on XP Pro. Any helps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

From: Associates on 14 Apr 2010 01:56 Thanks Doug for your reply. Edit>replace is an option but i want to use something else. I have tried to use online Form from the Form toolbar in conjunction with the use of REF. It works really well. However, what does not work is when we like it the same thing happen in the Header/Footer. I have the repeated word in the Footer. I was wondering if there is some other controls i can use to update the Footer. Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

From: Associates on 14 Apr 2010 02:26 Hi Doug, I think I need to use StyleRef in order to be able to update the Footer ( got this info from http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm). However, when i toggle it back using Alt+F9, i received an error message from the Footer: Error! Style not defined. The following is what i put in to the Footer. Note: I use control+F9 to get {} { StyleRef "myprojectname" } "myprojectname" is what i have as a bookmark Wonder how to get around this error. How do i define the style?

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 14 Apr 2010 04:01 The myprojectname needs to be the name of a Style, not a bookmark. I still think that Edit>Replace is the thing to use. -- Hope this helps.
