Finding a single word via find/replace wildcards
Hi, I'm running Word '03 on WinXP sp3.
I'm trying to catch the word "wouldest" in a multiword selection and convert it to "would". I've got the find/replace dialog open, wildcards checked, all other options cleared, but this Find string: (*)[! ]dest is pulling in the entire selection up to and including the word "wouldest". If I hit Next the selection recedes by one word at its beginning. The way I see it, the [! ] should kill finding multiple words, since the space is not allowed. Do I have that right? I must be doing something wrong. Any input would be appreciated. p. |
