Hi,
I saw some other people are having this problem but no answer yet. The replace process says it finds everything and I check and it makes the change but the file does not receive the changes. for example
search and replace this \\bob\serverspace to r:\serverspace.
everything I have read says I should be able to do this in the excel spreadsheet. what am I doing wrong.

Are you clicking the Search button by mistake instead of the Replace button?

That would be the problem - you need to hit the Replace button, not the Search button.
If you actually did hit the Replace button, please email us a sample document and your settings (use File\Save As).
Mistyped that sorry
