Something didn't seem quite right with the find/replace but I think it was just because I was testing in Book View instead of Code View.
Replace all doesn't work if you are in book view (I think this is known, and I know you don't like editing in Book View...) - but it also does not give you a message to say that only the current book was checked and you might expect that all the other files were updated even though they weren't. Same I think with Find Next/Replace Next.
I see that Find/Replace Next does work across documents ok when in Code View. But I noticed that when doing a Replace Next that when you jump to the next document it doesn't Replace the first occurrence and leave you at the end of the word like it does in the same document, so you have to click a second time. Its inconsistent, but it may be what is preferred - since you've swapped documents you may want to pause to adjust. Although Undo works perfectly well if you change it unexpectedly. (Ah, just noticed that Undo is only for the current document - I expected my clicking Undo again to revert back to the previous document and undo the last change, not undo a change I made in the current file some time ago).
Also, the message "The search term cannot be found." is not cleared correctly. If you have a document with 2 occurrences of a word and you start at the top and do a find to get to the first, and then another find to get to the second, and then a third find you get the 'not found' message ok. But if you then click on Find Previous you get moved to the first occurrence of the word but the message still says not found even though it did find the word again. (Same if done in reverse).
