OR search, Word wildcards   

Kind of a long shot, but in regular expression find and replace it's 
possible to search for more than one thing at a time, using an OR search.

For example in Word, I want to search for something like

^13Figure OR ^mFigure

I haven't found this type of search documented in Word's Help, but perhaps 
there's undocumented functionality for this? Anyone know? If this capability 
was overlooked by the Word's developers is it an oversight anyone is aware 
of?

Hi William,

[^13^m]Figure

But there isn't a real "OR" as in other RegEx implementations.

Regards,
Klaus
