You might stand a chance in a .rtf file but not in a binary. I
understand the structure of a Word Doc, which is really a binary form,
goes at the end and any changes could massively FUBAR the document.
The .rtf doc is more of a text oriented and editing may not change the
appearance. By the time you have done that, you might as well do the
find and replace in Word.
