Thanks Dion. It worked great.

Now if you have several hundred words beginning with the letters "ID", you might have to wait for some regex magic. But meanwhile, you could use the "replace/find" to go through your document one word at a time, and if you strike one that isn't the ID you want to change, just click the "find " button to jump ahead.

EDIT --- I see the Mighty Turtle beat me, I am a slow typist.... The Tortoise and the Hare?

Thanks granny. I was looking for lower case id. Your way worked perfectly.

This regex will match all cases of "ID":

\bID\b

I would also recommend using the great Spellcheck that was added into Sigil 0.7.0, which can list every single word in the EPUB.

Tools - Spellcheck - Spellcheck (Alt+Q)

Once at the Spellcheck screen, you can put a checkbox in "Show All Words". Then feel free to find whatever word you are looking for in the list, OR search for it by using the "Filter" box at the top.

You can then double click on the word in the list in order to jump to its position throughout the book.

Thanks Tex. Love the spell check feature and "show all words." And the regex thing \btext\b is just awesome. And thanks for the link. I saved it and will explore it further. This is my very first experience using Regex (I've always been a little intimidated by it) and thanks to you it's a great one. Appreciate it!
