So, in other words, numbers like this: 20) not using wildcards you could search for: ^#^#) (Special | any digit | any digit | space) In a second search you could look for just one digit followed by the parenthesis and a space: ^#) I've been trying variations of the following: [0-9]{1,2}[(\) )] Maybe you have not an English system? Then try (using wildcards): [0-9]{1;2}[(\) )] -- Cheers Lisa [MS MVP Word] |
