I have had a delve around the forum but have not found an answer. Admittedly not an extensive delve so apologies if this has been covered before.

To Kovid: Excellent piece of software, keep up the good work.

Switch tabs on the Bulk Edit form to Search and replace.
Amazing what you can do once you figure how to use this tool (not simple, but the Test area WYSIWYG will help get it correct )
