Hi lee,

Not possible using Find/Replace.

Also, when you're doing this, the field coding you'll need to use consists of pressing Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces
'{ }' and filling in the space between these with MERGEFIELD "first name", so that you get '{MERGEFIELD "first name"}' - assuming,
of course, that the data source name you're using is in fact named 'first name'.

Cheers

is impossible to use find/replace to enter merge fields? for example, I want
to replace all instances of the word "Tom" with the field "first name"

Thanks
