I did a Search & Replace and somehow ? marks were placed throughout my
32-page document. I want to be sure I found them all, but when I search for
?, it stops at every letter.

Appreciate some advice. Thanks.

It doesn't work for me either. It doesn't work in 2010 as well. You can
checkmark *Match whole words only* Publisher will look between each word rather
than each letter. Not much help when you are dealing with 32 pages.

I see you problem; don't know if your search can be done in Publisher but
here's a way of finding the "?s" in your file.

Save the file as a PDF and do the search in your PDF viewer program. This
works for me using PDF-XChange to create the file and PDF-XChange Viewer to
do the searching.

What if you enclose the ? in quotes? "?"

Type a caret before it in the search box (^?) to search for the ? character.
