Your first two examples had the word TEST removed using EditReplace.

The third example with the word TEXT was not replaced.

What are you getting at?

That won't necessarily work all the time. Consider text strings like the
following...

"Consider this location for TEST, it won't be replaced."

"This text (with the word TEST) won't work either."

"Do you think the replacement will happen here for TEXT?"

and so on...

I think a VB macro, probably using Regular Expressions, will be necessary to
handle this.
