I have a problem, and I don't quite know how to approach it. I have created a source citation including "detail text" (NOT Master text) entry and a web tag that of course requires using the detail citation edit tab to enter a UEL. Unfortunately, after using this detail citation a couple dozen times or more, I've just discovered that I have some added text following the URL that is incorrect and needs to be deleted but I cannot find any means of efficiently doing it. Can anyone out there offer any advice on how to FIND all of these erroneous detail citations so I can delete the 3 or 4 words following the URL that do not belong there? I have tried the "Search and Replace" feature, but cannot seem to find them to make that feature work. Likewise everything else. I've even tried printing out a Source List for that source, but that prints out at over a hundred pages (if I do print it) and I am unable to effectively find the erroneous detail citations or the URL so I can correct them even one at a time. I know how to edit them, but I have to find them all first in order to do that, and not all are used for the same individual. I welcome any suggestions or advise. I go to great lengths to source EVERYTHING and use Bruce's fantastic sources and citations to the fullest, but now I have something known to be entered wrong and it is going to be bothering me until I can find each entry and fix it. :-( David E.

Try the Find Everywhere tool using the 3 or 4 words as the search string. If it finds matches, you click on the hyperlink to open the appropriate editor. Another approach is the Find Person Ctrl+F using the search criteria Any Fact > Research Note > Contains > searchstring (something like that, I don't have RM in front of me) If the error is in the WebTag, I don't think there is any search tool within RM.

In the Find dialog, have you tried the following criteria: Source(General) + Footnote contains + (the text you are looking for) OR Any fact + Source + Footnote contains + (the text you are looking for).
