Notes

  • If you include the optional hyphen code, Word finds only text with optional hyphens in the position you specified. If you omit the optional hyphen code, Word finds all matching text, including text with optional hyphens.
  • If you're searching for fields, you must display field codes.
  • If you're searching for graphics, Word finds only inline graphics; Word does not find floating graphics. By default, Word inserts imported graphics as inline graphics, but you can change a floating graphic to an inline graphic.
