With regards to search/replace functionality. Can the search/replace do it quietly without user intervention?
Example I had a document where I want to change the string 'Company Name' to 'My Company', without any user intervention. Much
like a form letter where I just want to change a string. Not tied to a database
ThanksNot a problem. Just call the Find method with the parameter "NoMessageBox". The text will be selected automatically.
Using Selection.Text, you can replace the text.
No user interaction required.
