Help me with find & replace function!

[ivaylo]

Hello, list-mates,

I have to reformat a document copied from a webpage. It contains
lots of hyperlinks to other terms, as cross-reference. I want to
delete all the hyperlink and put the terms in inverted commas.

So, I managed to do this wildcard search & feplace string:

Find what: (<*>) (With selected More>Format>Style>Hyperlink)
Replace with: "\1"

Unfortunately, this sting searches for a single word only and as a
result I get something like this: "[word]" "[word]" "[word]" instead
of "[word] [word] [word]". Most of the hyperlinks are references to
multi-word expressions rather than a single-word terms. So, the
above result is unsarisfactory.

Can someone help me define a string which searches for multi-word
expressions? I really need to perform such formating and will be
very thankful if you help me.

P.S. A macro for this purpose will be of help too.

Ivalyo,

Put nothing in the Find What box, and put "^&" in the
Replace With box.

Ivalyo,

Put nothing in the Find What box, and put "^&" in the
Replace With box.
