Hi @Pratiksha Bari​ ,

 

The Word Action Package has a Replace Action that you can take advantage of, which works in background.

 

Imagine the Text you wanted to replace was '$TextToBeReplace$'

 

imageI've added two Dollar Signs to each end in order to Escape it.

Automation Anywhere interprets dollar signs as variable initializations, which is why it is necessary to escape them if you want it to be considered as a part of the actual text.

 

Could you try that and let us know if it works out for you?

 

Kind Regards,

Ashwin A.K
