finding phrase
How can I find fractions of words, such as all words in a document that
include the following (for example): "help". I want to be able to find all words that include that phrase, such as "helpmate", "helper", etc. |

Use Find (Ctrl+F). You may want to verify that "Find whole words only" is
cleared (if you can't see the option, click the More button). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "shawmcc" wrote in message ...

I want to be able to find all words that include that phrase, such as "helpmate", "helper", etc. Just enter the desired letters in the Find What box of the Find dialog and click the Find Next button (or, depending on the version of Word, you can check the "Highlight all items" box and click the Find All button). If you click the More button in the dialog, you'll see an option for "Find whole words only". As long as that option isn't checked, the search will find the target text when it's inside a larger word. -- 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. |
