find and replace using wildcard characters
How do I do a search and replace using wildcard characters? I know that I
have to select Use wildcards in the search and replace dialog window. For instance I want to replace all instances of words enclosed using single quotes with double quotes. I put the following in the find entry field: '*'. Word retrieves the words in single quotes, but when I try to replace it with the following in the replace entry field "*", it replaces the string with exactly that ("*"). I don't know how to make the replace use the wildcard characters as well. |
