I'm trying to use Word's wildcard Find/Replace to find strings that omit the Oxford comma, like "dogs, cats, mice and birds". I'm using a Find pattern of "(<*>), (<*>), (<*>) and (<*>)" and a Replace pattern of "\1, \2, \3, and \4". But this finds a great deal of text that ends in the Find string, instead of just the Find string. How can I change the Find pattern to correct this?
Wildcard search finds too much text
