What about for something like this:




Find: Mr Mrs Dr Prof Sgt Pres (but NOT Sir and Miss)


so I can Replace with: Mister Misses Doctor Professor Sergeant President

Paul has given you a macro that can do multiple replaces. Just writing to note that Mrs. is not an abreviation for Misses (which is the multiple of Miss) but rather Missus which I have not seen used much.

O, I didn't realize that. It is funny that there is an "r" in "Mrs" but not in "Missus".
