Thanks, Suzanne. I thought I was using all capitals in the search but I'll
sure take another look.

I thought you were searching for words that were already in capitals (typed

using searches for *everything.* Shouldn't you be using [A-Z]? See

I'm putting ([*]@) in the Find box with formatting "not bold" and "all
caps"; and in the Replace box \1 formatted as all caps and bold.
Thanks for your reply, Suzanne.

I need to make bold the phrases and words that appear in all caps in a
long
document. I thought I was doing okay in the find and replace area, but
nothing I try works.
Could it be that when inputting a document, unless one goes to the Font
dialog box and chooses the "all caps" option, caps won't showup in find
and
replace using wildcards? I tried applying all caps that way and they
were
found immediately, but in the document at hand, nothing I try finds
them.
I'm sure they were applied by just holding down the cap lock.
Am I overlooking something simple?
