So long as there are no carriage returns in your paragraph, you should just be able to use this<br />
.* Apple .*

I'm sorry. &nbsp;I couldn't get either one of those to work. &nbsp;Am I doing something wrong? &nbsp;I just copied that into the find in word with the wildcard option checked. &nbsp;It did not return anything.<br />

Are you sure the regular expression option is enabled? (do they mean reg exp when they say wild card?)

Regular expression option? &nbsp;Is this a actual option in WORD or do you just mean having the use wild card option. &nbsp;Which I do.

Word does not support regular expression matching AFAIK.<br />

Regular Expression

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Programming Languages-Other

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
