I create duplicates of certain RTFD documents, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to efficiently find and replace three discrete values in a set of duplicated documents (office name, sub-office name, and contact info -- in a paragraph block).

I'd like save various info for these replacement values, so that I can more easily replace them through the find / replace process.

Some colleagues have suggested that this process would involve scripting and/or macros for predefined text values -- and possibly even some use of text blocks.

Any ideas / suggestion for how to to accomplish this while retaining the integrity of the RTFD files (which has specific formatting that I have to retain)? Happy to consider an app or macros/scripting process (though my knowledge of the latter is limited). I also have to be careful that I'm not making an errors in this find / replace process.

Many thanks for your help!
