OR operator in Find and Replace

[aussierugby]

I need to find a way, ANY way to find either "shall" or "require" in a
document at the same time using the "Find and Replace" object/tool.
I'm using VBA to tag each location, but the order is of great
importance.

Heck, I'd buy beers at this point.

To the best of my knowledge it can't be done as you would expect.
Another user and I where discussing using OR in a find text problem. The
discussion turned to a very real human situation where the house is locked
and the car is locked. A known spare house key is in the car and a known
spare car hey is in the house. There are other keys somewhere to be found.
Obviously the problem is resolved and the search can end when either a house
or car key is found.


Sub HelmutsDilemma()
Dim aWord As Range
Dim myStr As String
For Each aWord In ActiveDocument.Range.Words
myStr = aWord
If InStrRev(myStr, " ") = Len(myStr) Then
myStr = Left(myStr, (Len(myStr) - 1))
End If
Select Case myStr
Case Is = "car", "house"
If aWord.Next(Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1) = "keys " Or _
aWord.Next(Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1) = "keys" Then
With aWord
.MoveEnd Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1
.Select
End With
Exit Sub
End If
Case Else
'Do Nothing
End Select
Next
End Sub
