find/replace in between text

[abelp1975]

Hello you All:
I have several lines of text I need to replace for the same in bold.
I have something like this: GO some text GOAGAIN
I need to transform "some text" to "some text" in bold and clean "GO"
and "GOAGAIN".
How to do that?

Thank you all in advanced.
Abel.

If by clean you mean remove then you should be able to use Find and Replace

Find GO(?{1,})GOAGAIN
Replace \1
Replace format Bold
Check Use Wildcards

but how do I apply those commands? Is that to be applied to a macro?
something like this:
Sub Macro1()

'
With Selection.Find
.Text = "<b>" & "(a)([0-9]{1,})(a)" & "</b>"
.Replacement.Text = "exchange"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchWildcards = True
End With

End Sub

but this doesnt work!
why?
Thank you once again
Abel.

Well, yes, _something_ like that, but that doesn't have a whole lot to do
with the original question so what is it that you are actually wanting to
do? Can you give a little bit more detail of the format of your data and the
actual strings you want to find and replace?
