Default Find where find text contains a double quote


How do I use the Find feature to search for text that contains a double quote symbol? e.g. find "sh[

Note: In Duxbury (a Braille transcription application), the word "somehow" is dot5 s h ow which when copied into Word is displayed as "sh[.

Having posted this query, I have just realised that I can use Chr(34) for the quotes. Thanks to anyone who has spent time on this.

Default

A simple Word search will find
"sh[
If you are searching with the wildcards option then you need
"sh\[
