Hope this will point you in the right direction...

Sub FindandReplace()
Dim ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, lngRow As Long

Set ws1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")
Set ws2 = Worksheets("Sheet2")

For lngRow = 1 To ws1.Cells(Rows.Count, "B").End(xlUp).Row
If Trim(ws1.Range("B" & lngRow)) < "" And _
Trim(ws1.Range("A" & lngRow)) < "" Then _
ws2.Cells.Replace What:=ws1.Range("A" & lngRow), _
Replacement:=ws1.Range("B" & lngRow), LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
Next

End Sub

Hi,
I am after a piece of code that can replace words from one tab to the next
For example:
Sheet1 - pick up the first word from the Wrong Column(€śWrong1€ť) to find and
replace that word in Sheet2 with the correct word found in the Correct column
in Sheet1(€śCorrect 1€ť)
Then keep going until it reaches the last word within the Wrong column of
Sheet1

Wrong Column Correct Column
Wrong 1 Correct 1
Wrong 2 Correct 2
Wrong 3 Correct 3
Wrong 4 Correct 4
Wrong 5 Correct 5
Wrong 6 Correct 6
Wrong 7 Correct 7

My goodness, I hope that makes sense

Help greatly appreciated

Regards
John
