Adobe Learning Shop - Microsoft Word Office 365 Wildcard Searches

A brief list of frequently-used Microsoft Word wildcard metacharacters used in advanced searches of text for search and replace operations. Wildcards are used to represent the characters or sequences of characters in a search. Wildcard searches is like a pattern that identifies the string of text that you wish to find, and ignores everything else. Word uses “lazy” rather than “greedy” pattern matching: this means it will quit matching as soon as possible. Word wildcards are similar to regular expression (GREP) searches in text editing softwares, but are unique to Microsoft Word. $4.99
