Global search in text,textboxes,tables,section footers

[Patrick Riley]

I am using Word 2002 running on Windows XP Professional.
I have been unable to find a way to do a global search in a 400-page,
108-section long Word doc. I need to search not only plain text, but
textboxes, tables and, if possible, footnotes and section headers/footers.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Using Edit>Find should find text in all of those places. However, to use a
macro to do it, eee the article "Using a macro to replace text where ever it
appears in a document including Headers, Footers, Textboxes, etc.†at:
