I want to do a find and replace ONLY within a selection. I thought I was doing something wrong, but then I found this:
https://cybertext.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/word-replace-all-doesnt-work-on-selected-text-only/
where the user notes the same thing I found. This is surely a bug (or one of the worst design decisions in Word - and that's saying a lot!). Does anyone know a way to make Word do what it should do?
I've been moving the selection to a blank file and doing the operations there. But this gives other problems: when I replace the selection in the original document, the page headers get messed up and one or more bookmarks are deleted. A huge pain!
