Tricky wildcard search

[NobodysPerfect]

Hi,

I just read Paul's answer to a wildcard Seach & Replace issue https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...ve-spaces.html, which led me to one of my 'Search & Replace using wildcards' questions.

I need to find a "*" within a string (possible) followed by any charcater or digit (possible) within table cells (table cell marker as 'delimiter'). The string after the "*" has to be deleted (replace "*", possible ).

The problem is not the first part of the pattern, but the restriction to a table cell. I tried '^7' as well as 'Chr(7)', but both don't work.

Right now I'm using a VBA procedure, but simple Search & Replace would be much better - in this specific case.

Thanks
