From trying it, it works like this. If you check the Match prefix box and
enter "pre" in the Find What control and "post" in the Replace with control,
"preterm" will be replaced by "postterm"

It needs to be used with caution however, because it changes "pretend" to
"posttend"

Word 2007's Find and Replace dialogs have checkboxes for match prefix and
match suffix. I can't find anything that shows how these settings work.
Can anyone recommend reference materials that provide detailed
explanations for this and other new features in Word?
