@ any number of repeats of the previous character
<=the beginning of a word
>=the end of a word {n}=n repeats of the previous char {n,}=at least n repeats {n-m}= between n and m repeats [ ] marks a set of characters A - used inside this means an ascending range between the two hyphenated characters A !, only valid at the set’s start, means ‘any character except’. () groups the expressions and indicates the order of evaluation. It is used with the n wildcard to rearrange expressions. The result of the 1st () pair is represented by 1, the next pair 2 and so on. The easiest way to use a special character as a literal, eg to find a {, use the ASCII code instead. ASCII codes are specified in ANY sort of search with the ^. = ^92 {=^123 }=^125 ?=^63
*=^42 [=^91 ]=^93 ^=^94
@=^64 <=^60 >=^62 To find some relevant information in Word’s help file, go to Contents > Editing and Sorting text > Finding and Replacing Text.
