Default Finding or searching ^ character in word document

Hello



I am facing to much problem to search '^' character in my word file. Because of this is a wildcard special letter. how I can ignore it as a wild card.

If any body help me, I will remember it forever.

Thanks

Default Suggestion...

Use backslash as an "escape" character (that is: \^). Or so I thought, but \^ isn't accepted in a wildcard search. However, ^0094 should work.

With an ordinary Find/Replace, you can use ^^.
