Searching for a character
Hi
I have a macro that produces a special character ( ?) which I put into foreign words to help me remember how to pronounce them. The character in the macro is produced by the following lines Application.Keyboard (1028) Selection.TypeText Text:=ChrW(61440) How can I insert this character into Word's search engine in order to look for any words with this character. If I highlight a word beginning with this character, Word just ignores it (if it is the first letter) or divides the word into two (if it is in the middle) Thanks in advance. Dave Neve |
