That said, at least one of the expressions wouldn't work unless you change the .UseWildcards state.

Is that right? I'm just beginner working on Word Macro.

Sorry for pressing you more on Weekend!!

Code:

With wdDoc
  .ConvertNumbersToText (wdNumberAllNumbers)
  With .Range.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Forward = True
    .Format = False
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Text = "^w^p"	
    .Replacement.Text = "^p"
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    .Text = "([0-9]{1,})[!^13]@| ([A-Z]{2}_[A-Z0-9^13]{8,9}>)^13"^p"
