How to replace all instances of a text string with a field referen
I have a large document that I want to convert to use fields.
For example, I want to replace all instances of COMPANY_NAME in the document to be Field references of the form { COMPANY_NAME } where the curly-braces are the special Word Field Delimiters. I've tried use ^19 and ^21 in the replace dialog as suggested in the online help pages, but this did not work for me. |
