Note

To search for a character that is defined as a wildcard, type a backslash

(\) before the character. For example, to find the text $5.00, you would

conduct a search using \$5\.00.

To use wildcards and regular expressions when searching and replacing:

1) On the Find & Replace dialog box, click More Options to see more choices.

On this expanded dialog box (Figure 65), select the Regular expressions

option.

2) Type the search text, including the wildcards, in the Search for box and the

replacement text (if any) in the Replace with box. Not all regular expressions

work as replacement characters; the line break (\n) is one that does work.

3) Click Find, Find All, Replace, or Replace All (not recommended).

A paragraph marker $ Does not work as a replacement character.

Use \n instead.

A line break \n Finds a line break that was inserted with

Shift+Enter. When used as a replacement

character, it inserts a paragraph marker.

Inserting special characters

A “special” character is one not found on a standard English keyboard. For example,

1) Place the cursor in your document where you want the character to appear.

2) Click Insert > Special Character to open the Special Characters dialog box.

3) Select the characters (from any font or mixture of fonts) you wish to insert, in

order; then click OK. The selected characters are shown in the lower left of

the dialog box. As you select each character, it is shown on the lower right,

along with the numerical code for that character.
