    autocorrect replace for all

    I am new to word's autocorrect procedure.
    I can set my autocorrect entry called LBL1 :
    Appword.Autocorrect.Entries.AddRichText "LBL1", Appword.selection.range

    This works only when i type LBL1 in the document myself, but wat i want
    is following. I have an open document which contains several LBL1 texts.
    Can i autocorrect all LBL1's through code in one go, instead of having to press enter or space behind every LBL1 myself??

    Many thx for helping me out.

    This can be done using Word's find and replace by pressing Ctrl+F, then selecting the replace tab. If it has to be done via code, you can simply record a Macro of the above manual procedure.

    HUm, thing is the rangecontent contains text and images. So thats way i wanted to use autocorrect, i think a normal find and replace only replaces text and no images?!

    Find and repalce can also be used to replace graphics. Simply select "special" from the options at the bottom of the find and replace window. I have never used this so don't know if it will help, but it's perhaps worth a try.

    Thx for info, i did look into that.
    You can find for a graphic
    Word willl show a ^g in the find box and wel focus the first graphic it finds
    , but thats that. replacing a graphic is not directly possible replace hasn't got the graphic option and surely i did not find a way tot find and replace text and praphics in one go. Probably Autocorrect isn't the way to go but i am looking into all posibilities.
