Word should allow me to sync find/replace options I choose again
Suggestion. When I find and replace, I can go back and choose something I've
looked for, or something I've replaced. Picking what I looked for from the list doesn't change what I'm replacing; it would be nice to have an option that says 'replace with the same text used last time' so that when I pick FindText1 I get ReplaceText1 in the replace box automatically - make it a checkbox so it's not the default behaviour. when i have a set of Find/Replace changes to make in several different documents, this would save time and avoid msitakes. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word should allow me to sync find/replace options I choose again
Even better would be to have a selection of F&R "profiles" or something akin
to AutoText entries that would be saved between Word sessions. There are certain combinations I search for repeatedly (two spaces with one space, ^p^p wit ^p, etc.), and it would be neat to be able to just say, use F&R combination 1, 2, 3, or whatever. -- Suzanne S.

I meant that you could store your regular searches as macros

Word should allow me to sync find/replace options I choose again
As you yourself have pointed out, recorded macros based on Find and Replace
often don't work as expected, and, as I don't write VBA, I'm not up to editing them. -- Suzanne S.

Word should allow me to sync find/replace options I choose aga
VBA is great - but if the options are built in more people will be able to
find and use them. I know of plenty of collections of VBA macros to do these sets of replacements, but there's all the effort of finding, installing and allowing them on each machine. fine for an experienced user, less so for the novice who'd really find them helpful...

Hi Suzanne,
You could use our WordPipe search/replace application. It can store hundreds of search/replaces together, although it is intended for automatic processing of thousands of documents, rather than on just one document.
