If you're searching for the text "car picture," Word should be finding it,
and this should work. Do you have "Use wildcards" checked? -- Suzanne S.

What you might try is:
(car) (*) (picture) \3 \2 \1 I would not have thought that this would not work if there is a line break or paragraph break between the words, but it does seem to. -- Suzanne S.
