Word - Table Cell Markers

Asked By Barbara Pfeiffer on 20-Jun-12 07:40 PM
I am trying to do a wild card search in a table.  Names appear two
different ways - John Smith and John Smith*.  I want to find every time
John Smith appears WITHOUT an asterick.  So I type find John Smith[!/*].
This works for every instance of John Smith UNLESS John Smith is the
only thing in the cell and is followed by a cell marker, then it will not
find that instance of John Smith at all.  Why does it do this?  Does
anyone know of a way to do this?  Any help appreciated.

I see this too, but I have not been able to find a workaround.
