Find and Replace
I have a question for you that probably you can help me solve it . I want to find and highlight this string of texts (The correct answer is E, and the others letters from A-E) in multiples occasions, I need to do that with thousands of questions. Here is an example: ________________________________________ 1) A 22-year-old sociologist returns from 6 months in Jamaica and notes a 6-pound weight loss during her 1st month back home. She reports that her appetite is normal. She has developed symptoms of mild abdominal cramping and bloating after meals and frequent greasy bowel movements. A physical examination is consistent with evidence of recent weight loss, and her abdominal examination is normal. A stool specimen is guaiac negative. There are scattered ecchymoses on all four extremities. Laboratory results reveal an albumin of 2.9 g/dL (normal 3.8 g/dL), an INR of 1.9, and normal liver function tests. A trial of a gluten-free diet is attempted. There is no change in symptoms over the subsequent 3 weeks, and she has an additional 4-pound weight loss. Stool cultures for enteric pathogens and ova and parasites are negative on three occasions. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? A. Celiac sprue B. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli C. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli D. Pancreatic insufficiency E. Tropical sprue Explanation: The correct answer is E. This patient presents with signs of malabsorption as described by her loss of weight, frequent loose stools, and evidence of multiple vitamin deficiency. She is also hypoalbuminemic and has just returned from a tropical region. There are no risk factors or evidence, by history, for liver disease. The hypoalbuminemia, ecchymosis, and INR are explained by the malabsorptive process instead, which is consistent with a vitamin K deficiency. The findings are consistent with a tropical sprue. These patients often develop a B12 deficiency, as the terminal ileum is also affected more severely in the proximal small bowel. I want to cover the correct answer, in this case is E (the correct letter choice is always under €śthe correct answer is€ť, it always appears in two lines making selection and highlighting difficult. When I use the Find and Replace from Microsoft word (2003), win XP, I can not find and highlight both lines, just one, eg, €śthe correct choice is€ť. At this point I ask myself weather there is a possibility doing that by using wildcards or something else. I tried some of the variants but I didnt work. Do you have any idea? -- I apreciate very much your time and help. |

I'm not sure I fully understand but try this as a "Find what" string:
The correct answer is ^l^? This looks for the string "The correct answer is " (with a trailing space as per your post) followed by a manual line break (again, as per your post but it may be the case that the genuine article has a paragraph mark, in which case use ^p instead of ^l) followed by any single character. -- Enjoy, Tony "Rey" wrote in message ...
