Signal Name - Global Rename in Capture

I have a schematic with a few hundred signal names that start with DataXXXX. We need to change these to RXXXX. Is there a way to change these globablly rather than editing them one by one? They are offpage connector net names....

Thanks!

You can do a similar edit using Excel if you have it. As above, Edit->Find, choose either all or Data* as off page connectors.
When they show up in the find box, select all, then ctrl-e (Edit). This will pop up an edit box. Select the column. Ctrl-Ins (copies entire column). Paste in Excel. Edit in Excel with Ctrl-H (replace). Copy that back to Excel, select column, shift-ins will paste back.

Don't close the edit box in OrCAD while editing in Excel. Just a hint.
