Hi Denise, thanks for the thought. smile. I could have made a macro to put the steps into a one keystroke solution. However, I was writing these solutions up for volunteers who may have different versions of Word than mine and may or may not know how to take a macro I've created and then install it on their Word. So I decided that it's a bit safer to write up the instructions. smile.


My husband and I are actually both pretty geeky, grin. He's the real geeks geek, however, as he used to design computer chips for a living as well as owned his own software development company before moving on to work in statistics and theoretical mathematics. yeah, we're both boring techies. grin.

Judy why can't you create a macro to do the steps you outline. Sounds like your husband is a computer buff, maybe he can design the macro. I've done some, but I'm not an expert by a long shot.

Hi Soronel,

Unfortunately, Word isn't sophisticated enough. It only contains a subset of the necessary regular expression capability that would be needed to make one singular regular expression to do this. Which is one of many reasons why I hate Word. grin.

With a little work it should be possible to make a single regular
expression that will perform this operation regardless of whether
there are spaces or not and then you wouldn't need the four step
version.  Maybe Word isn't sophisticated enough, dunno.
