Hi Nancy, You could turn on Wildcards, and do this [0-9][0-9]in, but I you can't use wildcards on the replace side. This could be done with FrameScript; if you are interested, send me a sample document offlist and I will give you an idea of what can be done. Thanks.

I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been omitted between the number and the unit. In other words: Height: 17in Depth: 21in Width: 10in Or: The unit is 17in deep. In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha characters "in" and perform a search. In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific? As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns up every word that contains the two letters "in" including, well, **including**. It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can save the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find out first if Frame has the capability. --Nancy _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
