Word Regular Expressions: zero or more occurences?

Quote:

The construction {0,} (find zero or more of the preceding item) is refused as incorrect syntax. This concept is available in Unix regular expression matching, so it's a curious omission.

From:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/usingwildcards.htm

It states that zero or more occurences is rejected by Word as incorrect syntax and thus not available in Word Find & Replace.

And,

Your codes cannot find "C".
