Improving slightly on Stefan's solution, this seems to work if the
cottage
names are inside a paragraph of normal text:
Find What: (Cottage)( )(*)
Replace With: \3\2\1
Cheers,
Chris.

Note that if your document contains more than a list of names, it
isn't a good idea to use the suggested search. :-(
Hopefully, someone can come up with a better idea.

The following seems to work:
1. Choose Edit | Replace.
2. Click the More button, if necessary.
3. Check the "Use wildcards" option.
4. "Find what": (*)( )(*)
5. "Replace with": \3\2\1
6. Click Replace All.

I have a text with names of cottages in French word order:
Cottage
Mimosa, Cottage Alohi, etc.
How can I use Find/Replace to change them all to Mimosa
Cottage,
Alohi
Cottage, etc.?
TIA
Robin
