Re: Using VBA to replace text

Steve and David,
The only problem I'm having is that I need to replace a phrase and not
single words. I don't have a one to one match between the original
and the needed replacement.

I've tried placing double quotes around both the find and the
replacement text.

I've tried including all three line in the text-frame and don't get a
match because the current text has line breaks in it.. I therefore
added Chr(10) and Chr(13) to the end of the first two lines. The
lines are still run together and therefore I don't get a hit with the
find.

I've tried taking a subset of the line that needs to be changed and
still don't get a match. However, when I take a word, the
find/replace works fine.

Does PP or the find/replace not allow me to replace a phrase?

Do have any ideas? Am I relegated to changing 150+ presentation
manually? Sigh.....

Thank you for your time,
Take care,
Jeff
