Inteliigent "find and replace".
Hi All,
I need to do a inteliigent "find and replace". How do I have MS Word do a search and replace using the following rule: Find the word Test ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with a constant word. eg. Here are three lines of text Test ID (723) - Success Path - CLI Configure Acct-Interim-Interval (AII) Timer Test ID (724) - Success Path - Session Release - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC termination of a call Test ID (725) - Success Path - Session Cancelled - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC call session is cancelled by originator prior to successful set-up What I want to do is do a search that reads "replace all occurances of TEST ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with the word 'Not applicible". Please help! Derek |

And if you still haven't found it, try (Match wildcards)
Find what: Test ID[!^13]@(^13) Replace with: Not applicable\1 Greetings, Klaus "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You might have a look at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm -- Suzanne S.
