Did you check the 'use wildcards' option? The Find expression I posted will find every word ending in 'ly', including words like 'fly', 'ply' & 'sly'. If you wan't to exclude such 3-letter words, you could use:
Find = <[! ][! ]@ly> That'll still find words like 'ally' & 'only', though. You can't really tell Word to find adverbs only.
