I have a folder that contains many files. I need to change the same text in
each filename to a new piece fo text. All the files have the "old" text in
their filenames which needs to be replaced.
So is it possible to "Find/Replace" within filenames?
Many thanks in advance.

I have no idea what this has to do with Office but try this freeware:
All File Renamer:

Sorry about that, I placed my question here because I could not find a
newsgroup for Windows Explorer.
Many thanks for the link, I shall have a play later.
Best of luck to you

There is no specific group for Windows Explorer. Use a general
newsgroup for your operating system.
