Hi Walt,

Telling Word to use wildcards is as easy as checking the 'use wildcards' options on the (expanded - click More) Find/Replace dialogue box. The tricky part is in learning how to encode the Find/Replace expressions. The four I gave in my previous post, though fairly simple, give a hint of what can be done.
