I want to do a find and replace which enables me to change the format of a
variety of references, for example, from:
13v34, 34v76, 7v65, 19v4
to:
13:34, 34:76, 7:65, 19:4
I can do a find, using 'any digit', ie, ^#v^#, but how do I then replace
all, keeping the digits either side of the v / colon as they are?

[Tony Jollans]

Find ([0-9]@)v([0-9]@)
Replace with \1:\2
Check Use Wildcards (click on More... if necessary to see it)
Replace All

Enjoy,
Tony

Hi Graham,

You have good sense of humour.

Anyways, in Word if the data is in a table or with a tab order we can select
the particular range and replace. Isn't it?
