The search "Find Next" with "wildcards" does not function properly
Concerning searches with wildcards in Microsoft Office Word 2003.
I am using the following characters in the search: [!.]@ and the box "Use wildcards" is checked. Options: Search All. I use two words, for example Essene[!.]@will and click on "find next" I was searching a document with 397,000 words and with a Table of Contents in the begginning; and 2,500 footnotes. When I clicked on Find, sometimes it would not search or give any results at all: not even a message that the search is completed. Other times it would find several results of the search, and the next time I click on "find" the cursor/search would return to the beginning of the document. When I clicked again on "find" again, sometimes the search would continuue down from the point that it had returned back to the beginning. I removed the Table of Contents and I get better results: more succesfull finds. But still the searches keep coming back to the beginning of the document and sometimes stop. I do not get a message that the search was completed. |
