I doubt this is possible. Word can probably open the file and find the
string, but if you save the file, it will become a word document and be
useless. Most strings are stored as Unicode I believe, so you would find
them in other apps displayed as something like

J u m p o n t h e b u s

as an example.

Is there a way for me to edit an Excel file other than opening it using
Excel?? Such as notepad?

I have an application that needs to be deployed on 5 servers, the only
difference are the server names referenced. It will take hours to modify the
app for individual servers. I'd like to just do a replace of the server name
using some type of editor.
