Hi there, Ok, i have a big BIG document but I want to change a single charactor from $ to the euro symbol. The $ sign is written a few 100 times so changing it manually would not be ideal. Anyone know a fast way of doing this?

Ah cmon, give us a hard one!

Edit->Replace...

In the "Replace What" field, you put $
In the "Replace With" field you put €

If you want to keep some of your dollar signs, and have written the euro one differently to identify it (EU$ as I've seen it written before, for example), put "EU$" in the replace what field and "€" in the replace with field, so all your wanted dollar signs are kept, and all the correct replacements made.
