Yes, I did try it with the period. It does not work: it does not limit the
distance between the words that are being searched. The asterisk * between
the words searches for "one or MORE spaces and/or characters." Is there a
way to LIMIT the spaces and/or characters between two words being searched?

Try including a period after the final * as was suggested.

I tried the following
. *Peter*that* It finds these words, and the period preceeding them. But
they are not in one sentence. They are anywhere in the document.
likewise for this
*Peter*that*

You might be able to do it with wildcards, such as :

.. *word1*word2*.

Starting with the period followed by a space and ending with a period to
indicate that the string be within a sentence. Haven't tested it, but it
ought to work.

Good Luck |:)

This is like a Boolean search; like you search in Google. You search
for two
or three words and finds documents with those words, anywhere in the
document. However, in this case, in Word 2003, I am searching for two
words
in ONE SENTENCE, anywhere in the sentence. If I am not mistaken this
feature
was available in earlier editions of Word. Any solutions?
