I've got a Word document that was created by a client.  The problem is
that he has used four special characters thru' out 9 seperate documents
incorrectly and they need to be replaced by different special
characters.  I would like to build a Macro that searches for all four
sererate characters and replaces them with the correct ones,  It would
be great if I can build a marco that does this on all the documents at
one time.  Anyone out there able to help.

Cheers
Allan

And what, specifically, do you need to know? Find and Replace works with
Unicode characters.
