Hi,
Do the following. 1. Press Ctrl+F to open Find and Replace. 2. In "Find What", type [! ]-* 3. Click "More". 4. Select the "Use wildcards" check box. 5. Click "Find Next". Important: When you are finished using wildcards, clear the "Use wildcards" check box and perform another search to disable wildcards. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "Selvakumar" wrote: I want to search whole words of hyphenated words.

find whole word only using wild card
Hi,
Sorry, my previous instructions will only find hyphenated words like e-mail, in which the first part consists of only one letter. The following steps will do much better. 1. Press Ctrl+F to open Find and Replace. 2. In "Find What", type [A-Za-z]{1,}-* 3. Click "More". 4. Select the "Use wildcards" check box. 5. Click "Find Next". Important: When you are finished using wildcards, clear the "Use wildcards" check box and perform another search to disable wildcards. -- Hope this helps, Pesach Shelnitz My Web site: http://makeofficework.com "Pesach Shelnitz" wrote: Hi, Do the following. 1.
