Searching for a character

Dave Neve · Jun 22, 2005

Hi

I have a macro that produces a special character ( ?) which I put into
foreign words to help me remember how to pronounce them.

The character in the macro is produced by the following lines

Application.Keyboard (1028)
Selection.TypeText Text:=ChrW(61440)

How can I insert this character into Word's search engine in order to look
for any words with this character.

If I highlight a word beginning with this character, Word just ignores it
(if it is the first letter) or divides the word into two (if it is in the
middle)

Thanks in advance.
