This screen is called the RootsMagic Explorer. The same screen comes up as a part of the process of creating Named Groups and in the process of color coding.

I can find no "Find" dialogue that you refer to, so cannot find anything that follows it. :-( I have finally printed out a list of all usage for this one particular source and citation, and am finding and fixing each detail URL edit one at a time. It is a long tedious process, but it works in the end and is the only solution I can come up with since no search and replace feature goes where I need to go in the citation detail web-tag. :-( Thanks for the reply.

Jerry -----Original Message----- From: David E. Cann via Sent: Tue, February 24, 2015 6:05 PM To: RootsMagic Users List Posting Subject: [RMagic] Fixing detail text citation detail web-tag entries 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.
