Hi,
Invoking Execute as shown below works.. I have no explanation why your
VB to Py converted code did not work.
wdFindContinue = 1
objSelection.Find.Execute('Contosa', False, True, False, False, True,
True, wdFindContinue, True, 'Fabrikam', wdReplaceAll, False, False,
False, False)
This finds 'Contosa' and replaces all occurances with 'Fabricam'.
For a full explanation about the arguments to Execute, look it up in the
VBA Help.
Thanks,
