Want to find and add, not replace

G

Guest

I am trying to do a "find and replace" but actually not replacing but adding
a couple of characters. Specifically, I am trying to find a paragraph mark
followed by any number then adding a character in front of the number without
deleting the number found.

Can you help me do this?

Well, you can add to the found text by using ^& (for "Find what text") plus
whatever you want to add. And you can change the font by adding that to the
"Replace with" definition. But unless you want all of the replacement to be
superscript, you can't do it in a single operation. You could add the number
with some extraneous text, then run another replace to find the
number+extraneous text, remove the extraneous text, and format as
superscript.
