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
