Default Wildcard to Find and Replace with fields?

I am not sure what you mean by EndNote citation fields. If you use Alt+F9
to toggle on the display of field codes in the Word document, what do you
see in place of the fields that you want to modify?

Hope this helps.

In Word 2007 I'm editing a paper which contains EndNote citation fields,
and
in the course of switching the paper to a different bibliographic style I
need to find and replace any space that occurs before a citation. Each
citation exists in the document as a field in Word.

With field codes toggled on, when I do a simple Find for ^d Word finds
each
field with no trouble, but when I switch on "Use wildcards" and try the
syntax
Find: ( )(^d) - and I have also tried ( )([^d])
I get an error message saying that ^d is not supported when the Wildcards
check box is selected.

Can anyone help me with Find and replace syntax that will work for this
task?
