Hi DK,

See the article "Finding and replacing characters using wildcards" at:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded

but when we put [A-Z] command and replace will also have
[A-Z] it will replace all A-Z with these brackets and
miss out these chrachters example replcing "space" John
with ", [A-Z] " will make it ", ohn"

You obviously have not read or understood the article to which I referred
you. Look at the section dealing with the use of () in a wildcard search
string and the use of \# in the replace string.
