In the find/replace box,

Search for (*^13) with style Heading 2 (matches all of the heading)

Replace with [A]\1 with style Heading 2 (replaces all of the heading with [A] and all of the heading)

It seems to work.

For your body text replacement, use [EXT]\1[\\EXT] as your replacement text (note the double backslash).

Hi folks,

I have a long Word document and need to add a tag before every Heading 2. E.g.,

The Plan (in Heading 2),

becomes

[A]The Plan (still in Heading 2).

Similarly all block text (currently with a style of its own) needs to have tags inserted at start ( [EXT] )and finish ( [\EXT] ).

I can't get Words wildcards to do it for me and wonder about a script. Any pointers to a source of advice would be great. (I have read the standard "how to use wildcards in Word" documents around the web.

Cheers,
Chris
