I use word 2007 and I have a requirement wherein I have to find all instances of text which are delimited by ( and ); and then need to replace the same with italics inclusive of the delimiters. Now using a very comprehensive article on the subject by Graham at
gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm
I typed [(]*[!^13]*[)]; in the find what box, but this is searching even the part from the first ( in line 2 to ); in line 3 as in example
example--
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Maecenas porttitor congue massa. Fusce posuere, magna sed pulvinar ultricies, (purus lectus malesuada libero).
sit amet (commodo magna); eros quis urna.
What I want is to search ( followed by some words and the following ); and not the words delimited by ( and )
I am unable to understand what changes I need to do in the search string to do this.
Pls help
