Hi Dorathy, A wild card is used if you do not know the full word that you want to search for. For example, if you want to search for the phrases: Mary had a little lamb Mary had a little lion The search phrase Mary * Would return both phrases Mary had a l* would return the first phrase only, and Mary nad a little la?? Would return the first phrase. Basically, how it works, is you use * in place of the rest of the characters/words you are looking for, and if you are not sure of a few letters only, use ? (the question mark) for each letter. Thanks. Andrew. -----Original Message----- From: jaws-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Dorothy Ingram-Gorban Sent: Tue 22/11/2005 15:34 To: jaws-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [jaws-uk] Flor what is the answer then.
