Thanks ben and miked. What happens with file associations and the Notepad replacement settings?

I am about to upgrade from version 7 to version 8. What do I need to do to ensure that all my settings including clip library items, macros, tollbar macros, document classes and syntax definitions which I use, are transferred to version 8?

Thanks Ben but can anyone give me a more definite response?

Could I have some information on this please.

When I do that I get the message "Cannot find literal text:".

Ben, I cannot answer you points becuase I do not know the answers. I have previously been able to highlight a block of text, with "Regular expression" chosen, and replace it in all open documents with another block of text chosen. For some reason, I cannot now do this.
