Find Replace for Word in Header, Footer, Body (VB.NET)

[J. Clark]

I need to be able to select the area when doing a find and replace using the
Word Interop library. I have the find and replace working, but I need to
know how to search the different areas: header, footer, body.

The following article shows how you would do it with VBA.

Headers, Footers, Textboxes, etc." at:

In Word 2003 Find gives an option of marking all entries in the Feader/Footer
and tells you have many it finds. When I try to Replace these, I get
inconsistent results i.e. sometimes it works, sometimes it only changes one
instance.
Should it be able to do this and if so how do I it.
