Search/Replace UpperCase Words

B

Buck Turgidson

Is there a way that I can search for all uppercase words with TimesRoman
font, and change them to Courier font?

In the Find What box type [A-Z], If you cannot see the Format button at
the bottom of the box click on the More button which should expand the
replace dialog box, place tick in the Use Wildcards tick box, click on
Format button, choose Font and choose Times New Roman.

Put your cursor In the "Replace With" box, click on the Format button,
choose Font and choose Courier. Click on Replace All.

Hi Lynn,

I'm so glad you responded because I've been following this thread and I
was also curious about how to do this.

How would one select only the "whole words" that were all capitalized,
versus strictly the individual letters? What if a person had a
sentence starting with a capital letter in a Times New Roman font but
didn't want that particular font to change to Courier...only the font
in the words that happened to be all in caps?

Thanks!

Karen

Hi Karen
If you add @ and a space to [A-Z] so it looks like this
[A-Z]@space (don't type the word space, just hit the space bar) - it
will not replace words which have another character after them - I
think!

Regards
Lynn

Lynn,

That worked like a charm! I never knew how to do that. What a handy
tip, thank you!
