Hi all,
My first post.



I have a bunch of sentences, something like this:

i. drfdry
ii. jhkjk
iii. jk
iv. njkl
v. jkil
v.1.1.1 jhkl
v.1.1.2 kl
v.1.1.3 jk
v.1.1.4 dfg
v.1.1.5 dfg
v.1.1.6 df
v.1.1.7 gd
v.1.1.8 fg

I would like to highlight all sentences with "indexes" (similar to a bullet form) with yellow background color.

How to do it using find and replace?
Or do I need to write a VBA?

Thanks!

You could try a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = <[ivxlc]{1,}.[!^13]@^13
Repalce = ^&
and you set the replacement highlight attribute. Note that the highlight will be whatever Word's current setting is.
