Island Girl

I know that I must have what I'm looking for on a list somewhere, but I can't
find it at the moment.

In a search containing email addresses, I need to know if there is a
wildcard code for @. Would one of you wonderful people help me out? It
keeps throwing an error in the "Find What" box.

Thanks, as always!

Any character that has a special meaning in a wildcard expression, including the
@ sign, can be searched literally by putting a backslash in front of it. In this
case, use \@ in the expression.

Thanks a million, Graham! I've been learning most of all I know about find
and replace from your wonderful article(s). And then when I get stuck (or
just draw a blank) you and your colleagues at this website always come
through.

This gal appreciates it more than words can say.
