I cannot get Word to find and replace text in footers across section breaks.
Is this possible? If so, how? I see the checkbox for find across section
breaks, but it doesn't appear to have an effect across section breaks.

I am not familiar with a checkbox for finding across sections breaks. Where
did you see it?

The following article may help you:

Headers, “ at:

Thanks...

The checkbox was under "Advance" in the Find dialog box.
