Find & Replace a string contained in a link
How about just using
Edit|links|Change sources.

I have a spreadsheet with numerous external links to numerous files. A
typical link would contain the following string:
8. August\[Project 1 Aug.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
I would change string to:
9. September\[Project 1 Sep.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
The constraint is that the filename also changes throughout the spreadsheet,
for instance, also want the following found and replaced:
OLD:8. August\[Project 2 Aug.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
NEW:9. September\[Project 2 Sep.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
OLD:8. August\[Project 3 Aug.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
NEW:9. September\[Project 3 Sep.xls]Data Tab'$L$25
etc., etc.,
I have tried using the following wildcard find/replace:
FIND: 8. August*Aug
REPLACE: 9. September*Aug
But while the find works, the replace just produces a "formula you typed
containes an error" message.
Any pointers? I'm sure this kind of find & replace is possible in Word...
Thanks,
Matt
