it might be 19. 405x5 Tailaw or 19. Tailaw

Thankyou for looking at my question.
 
Hi Steved

use edit / replace
FIND: 19.*Tailaw
REPLACE WITH: Tailaw
click on the MORE button and ensure "use wildcards" is checked.

Hello JulieD from Steved

My objective is to write a macro that would do several
hence I want the macro to hightlight to the first word.
as an example

19. 405x5 Tailaw

How would I go about highlighting to the word "Tailaw" in this case and then
delete to leave Tailaw

ps I have several of these to do.

Thankyou.
 
Hi Steve

by "hightlight" do you mean "select" or "apply highlighting"?

if you record a edit / replace macro (using replace rather than replace all)
you could easily "tweak" it to do "other" words to.
