[Island Girl]

Suppose I have a 90 page document crammed full of the following number
patterns: 11R1962-72. I need to put these numbers in parentheses wherever
they appear in the document. You've taught me so far how to do that
successfully--and I thank you!

But some of the numbers have a period after the R (i.e., 11R.1962-72). How
do I find either of these patterns in one find-and-replace action?

I guess the simplest thing would be to find and remove the period, but
that's too easy!

Thanks more than I can say. This group offers the very best education in
Word that I've ever come across. And I thank you!
