See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm for general
help. In your specific case, note that the parentheses () are special search characters; if you want to find parentheses, you need a backslash before each one. Also, you need to include the space character within the square brackets to match the spaces between the numbers. Because you left out a comma in the {1} expression, it's looking for only one character, not the whole sequence. You don't want the angle brackets because what you're searching for is not the beginning or end of a word. Finally, if you want to include the C in the bolding, you need to include it in the search term. Given all that, try the search term C\([0-9 ]{1,}\) You don't need anything in the Replace With box; just put the cursor there and press Ctrl+B. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sun, 29 May 2005 21:47:01 -0700, Steved wrote: Hello from Steved C( 0 0 0) Using the Above I am using ([0-9]{1}) but I am finding it difficult to highlite the above.
