Hi Paul:

Thanks again for your help.

Yes, The wildcard box was the first thing I checked for when it did not work.

That said, it worked perfectly today.

I have been using this Find function for umpteen years and it has always had a
way of sometimes not finding something I know is there. When this happens, I test by asking it to find any alpha or numeric character that I am currently viewing and if it comes up 'no find' I shut down Word and then reboot.

If I simply restart Word, when I click find, the last thing I searched for will still
be there, Hence the Reboot.



Having never used Word's Macro thing I'll have to give it a try.

Many years ago I was fairly successful with Excel Macros.

Cheers,
Billob
