    Thanks Lee!

    Are the Tag numbers text, mtext, attributes or other?

    Start the BFind program and enter a few random items, then click 'Save' to save the search items and create the save file.

    Close the BFind program and type at the command-line:

    Code:
    (findfile "LMAC_BFind_SavedSearches_V2-0.txt")
    Navigate to this file and open it.

    Copy your find / replace items from Excel to this file, and ensure that you match the existing formatting of the file.

    Start the BFind program and click 'Load' to load the items copied to file.
