If you really mean, "discuss it further", you'd be right. But I don't believe I could have
asked my original question anywhere else.
Still, I was just idly curious. I was pretty sure that nobody was going to tell me something that
would allow me to edit PDFs with Xywrite.

I'm making edits in three places in all the files. One is exactly the same each time; adding color
and bold to an unchanging bookmark title. The other two are also bookmarks (one is being changed to
bold, the other just gets color), but they change according to car manufacturer. At the moment I'm
simply using Textpad keystroke macros. This works well enough, though I have to redo the
manufacturer ones each time the name changes (no ability to FIND with wildcards...that's where Xy
would have been useful). I'm so spoiled by Xywrite that I get a bit annoyed anytime I have to
actually do any drudgery without it.
