I need to find all paragraphs in a document that have style "Paragraph
indented" and change them to style Normal with a tab at the beginning
of the paragraph. (It's what the typesetting machine requires.)

I have tried to follow Graham's page on using wildcards, but I find
nothing about how to search for an arbitrary stretch of text of
arbitrary length. (*) finds one character at a time. I can't simply
Find the paragraph style; with Use Wildcards checked, something has to
be entered in the Find What? box.

(Word2003.)

Thank you.

Try find, more, format, style, then in the replace section do the same

In the find what box enter
*^13
(find text up to and including the end of paragraph mark)
Select more
Check the wildcard box, and format style - pick the Paragraph Indented
style name from the list. It will be appended below the find box.
Enter
^t^&
(Replace with tab and the found text)
in the replace with box and format Style normal
Replace all

That's how you replace a style with a style. But I need to add a tab
character before the content of the paragraph.
