Some of the regular expression gurus might have better suggestions, but you
can use --

Hello[!^013]*world

to find all instances of "Hello ... world" within one paragraph. You need
'Use wildcards' checked, and the test is case sensitive.

Is there a way to find instances of words near other words, or to do
Boolean-style searches, within a Word document?

For example, I want to find all instances of the word "hello" within 2

words
of "world". So, I would find "hello world", "hello happy world", "hello

and
goodbye world."

I tried typing in Hello * World in the Find What... box, but that didn't

work.

Any ideas? Thanks.
