I think you're trying to do what Word already does for you. The
parenthesised expression is 'captured' automatically and "\1" can be used to
position it in the replace string without you needing to do anything. Adding
to the Find string means Word is looking for "\1" after your string, and
can't find it.


Tony, did I ever tell you you're absolutely brilliant? g

Thanks,
