Example:
Assume that you want to print address labels that contain the company name. You do not have much space available on the label and cannot afford to completely print long company names, for example, "Forrer Construction, Incorporated.
With the expression StrSubst$(COMPANY,"Incorporated","Inc.") every appearance of "Incorporated" in the COMPANY field will be replaced with "Inc."
