Hi, Shelley Lou! 1) It would be nice to get your sample doc (this would remove the need to make a test text with all possible variations); 2) do you need to embolden all occurrences of the selected string or sth other? 3) .text = "[\(\)]" will search for round brackets that come together. This .text = "\([“""][A-Za-z ]@[""”]\)" should search for words & spaces within quotes within round brackets.
