I'd like to format only the bracketed texts in a huge document
Hello!
I'd like to format only the bracketed texts in a huge document, but no idea how could I do it. My first try was to specialize the Find-Replace-options, but there is no any tool to do it. It'd be a great support of you, because the document is 180pages and about 50 bracketed text per page. Thank you very much! |

Find and replace will do it. Check the 'Use wildcards' checkbox. Find=
\(*\) Leave the Replace box empty, but set the formatting to whatever you need. "gybálint" wrote in message ... Hello!

I assure you that there is the capability in the Replace dialog to do what
you want. First click the More button in the dialog so you can see the additional tools there. Depending on exactly what you mean by "bracketed" and what kind of formatting you want, you may need to check the "Use wildcards" option and formulate a search expression to match the desired text (see http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm). You'll also need to place the cursor in the Replace With box and then click the Format button at the bottom of the dialog. From there you can specify font, paragraph, style, and other types of formatting to apply to whatever text is found. If you care to be more explicit about the characteristics of the "bracketed" text (exactly what characters are the brackets, and are there any other conditions?) and the formatting, we can give more help. -- 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. gybálint wrote: Hello!
