Default \n wildcard

What you might try is:

(car) (*) (picture)

\3 \2 \1

I would not have thought that this would not work if there is a line break
or paragraph break between the words, but it does seem to.

If you're searching for the text "car picture," Word should be finding
it,
and this should work. Do you have "Use wildcards" checked?
