Message: [QUOTE="Paul B., post: 5516990"] Thanks to everyone for the answer. That was a very clear explanation, Jay. The function of the @ had escaped me. I have some Perl RegEx experience, but Word's lingo frequently drives me batty. Graham, the reason I'm trying to do this via Search is that I occasionally want to convert KJV Bible verses to more modern usage, so it's more than a question of the "wouldest" word, and I'm constructing a macro to do it all (besides, I have a KJV dictionary installed, so 'wouldst' isn't flagged in spell check). I could have made that more clear in my post. I'll probably doctor this up to only pick up "est" word endings preceded by certain consonants, in order to avoid false positives. And Tony - sorry, but I refuse to ignore you! :) Be well, p. [/QUOTE]
