[Pinkham, Jim]

Thanks for this, Stuart! Sounds like best-case feasibility, under the
circumstances.

I don't think you can do it with Replace.  You can certainly Find Any
Table or Find Table Tag, but each of these selects the entire table and
its anchor symbol so any replacement would obliterate the table.

You could do a pretty rapid series of keyboard shortcuts, though:

Start at the end of the book or file.

Alt + f (to find the last table)

Repeat:
   Left Arrow
   Right Arrow
   Enter (puts in your new pgf)
   Alt + e, f (puts focus on Find dialog)
   Alt + f (finds previous table)

...until done.

HTH,
