Default Replacing

Doug

It works brilliantly - thanks for that. Can this be used to replace tabs in
the same way i.e. ^tMichael^t to change to Michael where Michael would be the
name that changes

In the EditReplace dialog, click on the More button and check the "Use
wildcards" box and then in the Find what control, enter

(m)(*)(t)

and in the Replace with Control, enter

n\2s

Then click on Replace all.

Is there anyway of replacing certain parts of words using a wildcard for
example how do I change all words in a list beginning with m and ending in
t
to begin with n and end with s leaving all other letters the same?

Thanks
