Hi All, I need to do a inteliigent "find and replace". How do I have MS Word do a search and replace using the following rule: Find the word Test ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with a constant word. eg. Here are three lines of text Test ID (723) - Success Path - CLI Configure Acct-Interim-Interval (AII) Timer Test ID (724) - Success Path - Session Release - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC termination of a call Test ID (725) - Success Path - Session Cancelled - 3GPP PCC to 3GPP PCC call session is cancelled by originator prior to successful set-up What I want to do is do a search that reads "replace all occurances of TEST ID (followed by anything up to a newline) and replace it with the word 'Not applicible". Please help! Derek
Check "Use Wildcards" Find "Test ID*^13" (without the quotes) Replace with "Not applicable^p" (without the quotes) Hit "Replace All" -- Enjoy, Tony "MegaC" wrote in message news:1141326769.308552.309400@t39g2000cwt.googlegroups.com... > Hi All, > > I need to do a inteliigent "find and replace".
