Hi -- I'm having an exceedingly difficult time doing something that should be mind-numbingly easy. I want to use Word 2013's Find dialog box to do a simple 'OR' search. I'm used to using the '|' symbol to do these searches in Google or in other programs, i.e.: 'pheasant|rabbit' should return any instance of either 'pheasant' OR 'rabbit'.

I found a Microsoft page that seemed to show this would work (as long as the 'Wildcards' option was checked) but it does not work.

I'm sure the problem must be with me. It's a common technique and I can't believe Word doesn't have the capability after all these years. Can anyone tell me how to do such a search using the Find dialog?

Thanks.
