The VB program is required to open a word document and search and replace a particular string in the document. The search/replace operation is also applicable to headers and footers. To implement this Wordbasic commands are being used in the VB. But,the program is unable to do search/replace operations on the text present in the header/footer.

Any workarounds to this problem will be highly appreciated.

if you're using WordBasic (word 6/95) then you must change the current view from normal (the default) to header/footer:

objWord.viewHeader
call SearchReplace

'gotoheaderfooter toggles the view between the two
objWord.gotoheaderfooter
call SearchReplace

objWord.viewnormal
call SearchReplace
