I have hundreds of Word tables that have data cells formatted like:


13.45 [56.34]

I know how to highlight or change the font color for the entire cell, but what I want to be able to do is programmatically change ONLY the color of the numbers within the brackets. So the cell would look like:
13.45 [56.34]

Thanks in advance.

You could do that via two wildcard Find/Replace operations, where:
Find = \[[0-9.]{1,}]\]
Replace = ^&
and you set the replacement font colour to whatever you want, then
Find = [\[\]]
Replace = ^&
and you set the replacement font colour to whatever the default was.
