Word 2013, Windows 7
I am painstakingly wanting to review my adverbs in my book to possibly remove them. Ending in .....ly, is there a way to have word 2013 search for words ending in ly? |

Use the following wild card search:
<[a-zA-Z]@ly> |

![]()
Robert's wildcard Find will do just fine, though it will also pick up words ending in ly that aren't adverbs, such as 'fly', 'sly, 'apply', etc.
