Syntax:

Sub Replace(ByVal OldText As String, ByVal NewText As String, ByVal CaseSensitive As Boolean, Optional ByVal StartIndex As Long = 1, Optional ByVal ReplaceAll As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal WrapAround As Boolean = False, Optional ByVal IndexingType As cdrTextIndexingType = cdrCharacterIndexing)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
OldText	String	Specifies the text to be replaced
NewText	String	Specifies the text that replaces the text in the OldText parameter
CaseSensitive	Boolean	Specifies whether to match the case of the text in the Text parameter
StartIndex	Long	Specifies the first text object in the text range. If the index type is set to word and the start index is 3, the StartIndex parameter begins the range at the third word in the selected text frame.
ReplaceAll	Boolean	Specifies whether all instances of old text found in the text range are replaced with new text.
WrapAround	Boolean	Specifies whether the text follows the path of an object's shape or bounding box.

Remarks:

The Replace method replaces one text string with another in a text object.

Examples:

The following VBA example replaces all occurrences of # on the page with the current date.

Sub Test()
  Dim s As Shape
  For Each s In ActivePage.FindShapes(, cdrTextShape)
    s.Text.Replace "#", CStr(Date), False, ReplaceAll:=True
  Next s
End Sub
