It's OK. I did the more complicated ones manually. But thanks. This
saved me about 60 simple instances.

Now I'm going to make it harder 
Some of the cottages have names like
Cottage Espace 4
Cottage Laurier Rose
But they are on separate lines. No other text on the line

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,

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
