I don't know when this issue started as I have done this for years since I work with very large documents but suddenly, you cannot select a column in a table and do a search and replace on data only in that column - it attempts to replace it in the entire document. It is not exclusive to my computer. I have attempted the same thing on 3 different computers in my office with the same result - and the computers are stand-alone computers so it has nothing to do with the network. One of the computers had a Windows Update bundle (including a service pack) for Microsoft Office 2010 applied today 9/29 - there were 29 updates in that set. My computer did not have those updates, it had a handful of them from 9/10/14. I did a system restore back to 9/9/14 but the problem remains. I do still have 26 Office Updates that were applied on 8/18/14. I sure hope the problem did not start then as I have worked on many files with tables and not knowing how many replacements there would be in a document, I would have had no idea there was an issue. I only found out today because I was working on a small document and knew there should be exactly 150 replacements, however, Word indicated 320 which included the text found in the NON-selected columns.
Anyone know what is happening here?
Thanks.
