If not, you could brute-force replace all then go back and tune those you didn't want replaced (e.g., if they're, say, part numbers in a handful of tables).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Alternately, export to MIF and use any programmer's text editor (e.g., Notepad++) to do a regular expression search and replace, similar to your Word example. Then open MIF and re-save as FM.</div>
