Here's how I do it...

1. Highlight the section of code that you want to replace; it can cover as
many lines, tabs, etc. as you wish.
2. Go to the Extended Replace feature by the button, drop down list or key
sequence (Shift+Ctrl+R)
3. Your highlighted text will show in the "Find What" field.
4. Place your replacement text in the "Replace With" field.
5. Choose your "Find Where" option
6. Choose "Replace"

That's it!

Another neat thing you can do... Let's say you have made a change that you
want to make show up on all the pages of a project.  Highlight the new
information and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl+C).  Next go to a page where
the text to be replaced is located and highlight the text.  Now go through
the steps above.  HS will copy what you have highlighted into the "Find
What" field and you can paste (Ctrl+V) the new text into the "Replace With"
field.  Choose all the documents in the project's folder and click
"Replace".  Badabing!  It's done!
