In the More section of the find box, select Use wildcards. If you then enter
a space and 5 question marks and another space you will find words of 5 characters. Unfortunately you will also find phrases totalling 5 characters eg "go to". Hope this helps until someone with a better solution responds. -- Rae Drysdale "upisdn" wrote: looking to search and find words of a specific character length. thanks |
