Word 2007 Find & Replace: Where is it documented?
Word 2007's Find and Replace dialogs have checkboxes for match prefix and
match suffix. I can't find anything that shows how these settings work. Can anyone recommend reference materials that provide detailed explanations for this and other new features in Word? |

Word 2007 Find & Replace: Where is it documented?
From trying it, it works like this. If you check the Match prefix box and
enter "pre" in the Find What control and "post" in the Replace with control, "preterm" will be replaced by "postterm" It needs to be used with caution however, because it changes "pretend" to "posttend" -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Pat Adams" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Find & Replace: Where is it documented?
Pat, the best detailed explanations for all features of Word are found by
pressing the F1 (Help) key on your keyboard. In this instance, when the Word Help dialog box opens, search on (what else) "Find and replace" (without the quotes). The F1 key has never broken anything! "Pat Adams" wrote in message ... Word 2007's Find and Replace dialogs have checkboxes for match prefix and match suffix.

Charles, that would generally be good advice, except that the Help topic doesn't
explain the specific settings that Pat asked about. This is one of those cases where -- eventually -- the Office Online offerings will cover more than the in-the-box help does. It isn't there yet.

Word 2007 Find & Replace: Where is it documented?
Thanks, Jay. After I posted my question, I clicked around a bit and found
that there are a number of features in Word 2007 that don't have context sensitive help. Even worse, I couldn't find anything when I searched on "match prefix", etc. "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Yes, Terry. I do have Help set up to use Content from Office On Line. I also
changed to Help On My Computer to see if I could get help on Match Prefix, Match Suffix. "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Are you set up with an always on Internet connection?

I've checked and have the same negative results here too. We will just have
to wait until MS get their act together and get the on line contents updated. There are many gaping holes. Terry "Pat Adams" wrote in message ... Yes, Terry.

Presumably you meant F1 for Help?

Suzanne
Crazily, I did mean F7... but somehow I replied to this message instead of the questioner who wanted to know where the spell check was in Outlook.
