![]()
Hello, I was looking for a method to change the format between two characters (Round brackets for example). After a short search I found out the method is to use wildcards and a function like this:
(\[)(*)(\]) With this I can apply whatever format I want to text between "[" and "]" However With this method it also applies the format to the brackets themselves [ ], and I can't figure out how to exclude the brackets from the formatting while still applying to all the text between the brackets... I still use Word 2003 Any help would be great ~ |

You would need a series of search and replaces to achieve this
First find puts unique content inside the brackets eg [xyz] becomes [||xyz|] Then format the inner set by finding the ||(*)| Then remove the unique content you added. Alternatively, you can reformat the [] symbols after the initial replace
