i write (car) (picture) in the find what box office 2007 and
i write \2 \1 in the replace with box but
it could not find anything
what is wrong
 
If you're searching for the text "car picture," Word should be finding it,
and this should work. Do you have "Use wildcards" checked?

i try again and it become success but when words were close one another. my
words are different lines.
t.ex
my car is red.
picture is blue.
i must change them but i could not it in this way.
 
What you might try is:

(car) (*) (picture)

\3 \2 \1

I would not have thought that this would not work if there is a line break
or paragraph break between the words, but it does seem to.
