Ctrl+F on merge field documents to replace

[Daniel H.]

I have a mail merge document that has many, many different
field codes. I have noticed that ctrl+f and replace
function will not handle replacement of field codes. Is
their any way to replace multiple field codes with same
name to a different field code similiar to the ctrl+f and
replace function?

Hi Daniel,

If you toggle on the field codes in the document by using Alt+F9, then you
can use Edit>Replace to replace the names of the mergefields.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
