Replace & Find functions

[YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA]

I simply want to FIND or REPLACE, but PROJECT cannot find anything because I
cannot select the "Look In Field" as "ALL" or something that will allow me to
search for everything in PROJECT.

YOWZA,
OK, and your question is?

Project is scheduling application, not a word processor. What in the
world are you trying to find that may be in any field?

John,

I'd certainly like to find salvation or even satisfaction somewhere in
Project, however the shortcomings of the tool make this impossible.

Take yowza3's comments as a cry for help!

Jack,
???

I repeat, what could YOWZA be trying to find in any field? In all the
years I've used Project I've never had a need to do a find and replace
for all fields. At least from my perspective, the "cry for help" doesn't
seem warranted given that there are a ton of other features that would
be more useful for more users.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Jack,
Believe it or not, I've been mulling over your response and my latest
comment ever since I posted it. Just the fact that you did comment made
me wonder if I had said something callous or out of context in my
original response. Perhaps my use of, "What in the world..." was
misconstrued. Sometimes I'm baffled by what users ask for and I guess
this was one of those cases. What I need to remember is what it was like
when I first "encountered" Project - total frustration.
