I have a piece of software that exports data to an RTF file with each
line as a separate textbox. The documents are usually 5 pages. I need
to manually go in and change some of the text (department name,
address etc.) because the software doesn't let me.

I'm looking for a macro to search through every text box and replace
certain pieces of text. I have about 5 different find replaces I run
on each document.

Any help is appreciated.

See the article "Using a macro to replace text where ever it appears in a
document including Headers, Footers, Textboxes, etc." at:
