I did think it was a funny way to phrase a question, but I have seen much worse before... |

1. Ctrl+F to open the Find dialog.
2. Type "?" (without the quotation marks) in the "Find what" box. 3. Check the box for "Highlight all items found." 4. Click Find All. Word will tell you how many instances it found. -- Suzanne S.

Of course, my instinct was to reach for a macro, but Suzanne's answer is easier to use. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
