my problem is quite different. I use the Word UDF function, _WordDocFindReplace , that does the search and replacement only in the content of the document. How can I include the replacement in the header and in the footer also?

It's impossible with Word UDF functions.

Here my solution:

; find and replace in body
$oDoc.Range.Select();  
_WordDocFindReplace($oDoc,$search,$replace,2,-1)    
  
$count_sections=$oDoc.Sections.Count()
For $sec_i=1 To $count_sections

  ; select one header section 
  $oDoc.Sections($sec_i).Headers(1).Range.Select()
  ; replace in header
  _WordDocFindReplace($oDoc,$search,$replace,2,-1)  

  ; select one footer section
  $oDoc.Sections($sec_i).Footers(1).Range.Select()
  ; replace in footer
  _WordDocFindReplace($oDoc,$search,$replace,2,-1)  
    
Next
  
; restore print layout view
$oDoc.Activewindow.View.Type = 6
