Having searched whatever I could on this topic and trying numerous approaches over the last day and a half I have to admit I cannot figure out this simple task.

I load a template file in rtf format into a ScaleRichView and search for something like [LastName] and replace it with something like Walsh

Here is the simplest code I could fine

with RVEPreview do
begin
RichViewEdit.SetSelectionBounds(0, RichViewEdit.GetOffsBeforeItem(0), 0, RichViewEdit.GetOffsBeforeItem(0));
while RichViewEdit.SearchText('['+OldWord+']', [rvseoDown,rvseoWholeWord]) do
RichViewEdit.InsertText(NewWord);
end;

soon as it tries the SearchText statement I get the following error
List index out of bounds (-1)

My versions are ScaleRichView 7.5 and Richview 16.9

Thanks for any help you might offer

May be the document in RichViewEdit is not formatted?
SearchText and InsertText requires formatted documents.
Call RichViewEdit.Format before replacing.

Wow... simple fix.
Worked perfectly.
Thank you so much.
