Word's spell-checker scans footnotes after the body of text.  But the Find
commands ignores footnotes (unless you open the footnote section to search
it).  Is there a way to perform a global search/replace that would include
footnotes?  Thanks.  Stephane

The easiest thing is probably to save the file in interchange (RTF)
format, open it (saying "No" to the "Interpret RTF" dialog box), do the
search/replace, save it again, and open it (saying "Yes" to the
"Interpret RTF" dialog box).

I am not sure that this works but I will say it anyway.  (I can't check
right now.)  If you look at the document in page view can't the global
find be done easily.

   Would work, but takes more time than performing 2 searches (body of text
   and then footnote window)

  Good idea... but FIND skips the footnote :(

  Oh, well, it's no big deal...
