Default HOW DO I ENABLE WILDCARDS?

Apologies, I am unable to test on 2003. Works on the version. You don't by
chance have a leading or training space on your find entry do you?

Sorry. Lemme clarify. I am using Office Word 2003. When I created the
document, all was well. Then something happened which replaced all
apostrophe's with =. So the word isn't appears as isn=t. I've tried a
straight-forward Find & Replace but it says no instances can be found. It
just doesn't recognize the equal signs.

Couple of questions. What version of Word„˘ are you using?

Are you saying that your apostrophe (') are automatically being replaced
with = symbols? Or do you WANT to find all ' and replace them with "="
symbols? Which? Find and Replace should work straight forward on find ' then
replace with =

In my doc, I have multiple instances of an apostrophe (') being replaced by
an equals sign (=). I can't get Find & Replace to correct this.
Suggestions? Thanks!
