I want to be able to search for multiple words in a document at one time
using the "OR" operator. For example, I want to search for: science OR physics OR germs OR gene OR molecular biology OR mathematics Is this possible? If it is possible (I know I'm being greedy here), can a wild card be used too? For example, I want to search for: scie* OR phys* OR ger* OR molecular bio* OR math* Thank you very much in advance for your replies. |

You can't do that, but you could probably set up a macro to do something
along these lines - though '*' is too much of a blunt instrument to be used like this. What do you want to do with the found terms? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org RuneScape_Slayer85 wrote: I want to be able to search for multiple words in a document at one time using the "OR" operator.

I want to hyperlink the found words. Since there are so many words that are
candidates for hyperlinks, I thought looking for them all at once would be helpful. As they were located in the doc, I would manually insert the link.
