Word's spell-checker scans footnotes after the body of text. But the Find commands ignores footnotes (unless you open the footnote section to search it). Is there a way to perform a global search/replace that would include footnotes? Thanks. Stephane

The easiest thing is probably to save the file in interchange (RTF) format, open it (saying "No" to the "Interpret RTF" dialog box), do the search/replace, save it again, and open it (saying "Yes" to the "Interpret RTF" dialog box). --Mark

(I can't check right now.) If you look at the document in page view can't the global find be done easily. albert smith -- ___________________________________ albert smith, bowler@athena.mit.edu ___________________________________

Would work, but takes more time than performing 2 searches (body of text and then footnote window) >I am not sure that this works but I will say it anyway. (I can't check >right now.)
