Thanks, Gerald, for the list. I'm assuming by wild cards,
you mean the checkbox accessable by hitting the more
button in find and replace tab.

You can find a list of the codes for Find and Replace in Word's Help info.
I've pasted the info below.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a listing of format characters
Hi,
I thought it might be a good idea to list common format characters as a
single tip on Jake's site (i.e. ^l hard return and ^p paragraph marker. Is
there a list in microsoft word help files, or will I have to trust my
less-than perfect computer knowledge? Thanks.
