Word2003: Search ^P [0-9] with Use Wildcards on
I suppose I already know the answer to this: it's impossible.
I want to look for paragraphs starting with a digit.

Thanks.
The Microsoft online documentation sure isn't helpful or complete. The escape character ( \ ) isn't documented either, as far as I can tell. Is there perhaps a Missing Manual?

I wished the help were better generally, too. For wildcard find/replace, Graham Mayor (with Dave Rado and me) put something together: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm Greetings, Klaus

I would suggest the revised version at
http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm maintained so that I can keep editorial control of the page and include clarifications and updates as they come along. Did Dave have anything to do with that article? I thought that he had moved on long before? Your contributions however were invaluable. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Klaus Linke wrote: "Peter Rooney" wrote: Thanks.
