Guest

I want to FIND reference numbers with following format: a number (between 1
to 13) and a parathesis. like 9).
How can I use wild card instead of number to expedite the find process?

Find: [0-9]{1,2}\)

With 'Use wildcards' checked, the find and replace expressions follow (more
or less) standard regular expression format, which is documented in plenty
of places.

Is it possible to add another formatting effect to FIND command. All these
reference number I am looking for them, are raised. With the command you
mentioned, it brings all, although still good, but I want to bring only
raised ones.

Thanks a lot. You saved my life.
May ask what is the meaning of [] and {} in your command?.
Or simply you can direct me to the link that I can read myself.

[...] means match any character in the specified range (0 to 9 in this
case). {n,m} means match min/max occurrences (1 or 2 in this case).

In the Find dialog, click More, then Format | Font. On the Character Spacing
tab, select Raised by the amount by which the characters are raised. That's
assuming they are actually raised and not Superscript, in which case that's
what you should check.
