hi,

 here doing 1 of them.

with selection.find      .text = "text1"      .replacement.text = "text3"      .forward = true      .wrap = wdfindcontinue      .format = false      .matchcase = true      .matchwholeword = false      .matchwildcards = false      .matchsoundslike = false      .matchallwordforms = false    end      selection.find.execute          selection      if .find.found = false        msgbox "text1 not updated."      else        .collapse direction:=wdcollapsestart        .find.execute replace:=wdreplaceone        .find.execute      end if    end      

but in documents either "text1" occurs or "text2". don't know how write code search both text1 , text2.
