How to get specific text in word document without using find function (control + f)

Help
1

It will be used in a template word document, where for example there are 3 results of “salary payment” words and I want the 2nd result. However, if I want to amend the template and add another “salary payment” word, then using the normal way of find function, clicking the 2nd result is then not always correct.

I have tried various packages but they mostly find the word I want, but they replace every word but I only want to replace the one specific word/ find it.

I have also tried activities as image exist and element exist, they don’t work exactly well(buggy) and element exist cannot indicate the words.

Hi @lpc,

Use like this:

in your word template replace salary payment to:
salary payment1
salary payment2
salary payment3 so you dont replace all at same time

then

Use replace text activity

Search For = salary payment1
Raplce With = salary payment: StringWithValeu

repeat to other 2

I use this and works fine
