Find/Change for all Appendix space any character

Janet A. Thompson

I cannot remember how to do this.

I want to find all references to Appendix space letter
and
change them all to Appendix space letter but italics but I want to catch all
the Appendix A thur N's in one global find/change.

This doesn't require a Wildcard, does it?

Find : Appendix ^? -- this will find all instances of Appendix - space - any
character
Replace : ^&, press Ctrl+I --this will replace all that found with exactly
what was found but with italics.

Hope this helps

If you want to make it safer with "match wildcards", you could use
Find what: Appendix [A-N]>

That makes sure to only match if Appendix is followed by a single upper case
letter A to N (and then the "end of word", >).
