I didn't see anything like that. And I only have MS Office Word 2003 and didn't see anything there either. (I wish there was!)

I tried to get used to them, wombat. Just couldn't do it.

Sigil comes with a number already built in
You'd also have to run a possibly large number of Saved Searches one at a time, but it's still easier than manually changing them

I was wondering why you said I'd need to replace "often" and run "a possibly large number" of saved searches. Wouldn't it be just a one time deal? Open the html doc in Sigil. Run the saved search. Then all is changed over. Right?

I think I'm going to have to get more familiar with saved searches, Turtle. I never used them before. (It seems like a pretty painless solution. Better than starting with a MS Word doc and having to clean up all that crap.)
