Use a wildcard search (http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm), finding ([0-9]@).([0-9]@).([0-9]@) and replacing it with \1-\2-\3 -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

That's almost too simple. Thanks, Jay!
And the link to gmayor helped me better understand how you figured that out, and perhaps how I can figure out the next find and replace.
