ballpoint is on a distinguished road
Default Find and replace numbers (up to three digits)

I have a number of citations devoid of a title, but cited only as 'yearbook 1906, p. 122' or something like that. I would need to match these citations with the actual title of the contribution.

Now, I have the titles and the extent of the contributions: I know, for example, that one specific contribution goes from page 2 to page 136. How can I replace all of the instances citing 'Yearbook 1906, p. [2 to 136]' match?

I have quite a few of those, so ideally I would not like to do it manually.

I know that traditional regexes do not deal well with this sort of problems. There exist solutions like this one: http://gamon.webfactional.com/regexn...angegenerator/

However, I am wondering if something can be attained within Word / Excel.

Any help would be much appreciated!
