The below is simplistic and almost brute-force, but it appears to work. I’m assuming ‘word’ is representative. That is, I’m assuming you are searching for a specific string of letters where the only potential difference between each example string is the letter case. Then Search for: [W|w][O|o][R|r][D|d] Replace with: <whatever spelling case for the ‘word’ string you want> Hope this helps.
