    One way is simply to copy an occurrence of the character you want to replace and then paste it in the Find what box and use Replace All.

    Thanks for your advise. This is what I did for time being but we have such data keep coming all the time and I was looking for long term automated solution which allows me to replace all specific char with specific char.

    Can you provide a list of the characters you want to convert with the character you want to replace each one with?
