Thank you for purchasing Search and Replace!
PLEASE NOTE: While Search and Replace allows replacing in binary
files (such as .DOC, .XLS etc), these proprietary format files may
contain internal counters which may get out of synch when changed
with an external program. As a result, the application that
created the file may not be able to read it. For best results,
replace in ASCII text files (such as .HTM, .RTF, .TXT, .INI, .C,
.CPP, .H etc). In particular, Word files should be converted to
RTF format which can be safely processed. For replacing in
shortcuts or the registry, see our new utilities at
http://www.funduc.com. For Word file replacement, see the WordSR
freeware on our website.
