Default Find and Replace

I was asked to delete all company names from a very, very long document and
replace with XXXX's.

Since all of the names were at least two words, I tried to find two or more
words in a row that start with capital letters, but nothing I tried worked.
It would find capitalized words but the "find" would stretch across two or
more sentences from one found word to the other. How do I find the words
side by side instead of far apart?

Greg Maxey set me straight on an earlier question regarding the beginnings
of words and I've been able to use it very nicely. Now I just need to carry
that a bit further and find two or more words in a row that start with caps.

I just love this stuff! And it's all thanks to this wonderful website.
