Hi All,
I'm using Word 2000 and trying to perform search and replace to
'Increment the font size to 12 of any text that is between $. For example
$Here$ should be converted to 'Here' with 12 font size without the $
characters.

I can search using the wildcard and find what I'm looking for, but I don't
know how to get rid of the leading and trailing $ using the replace
expression. Could anyone help me.

Thanks
Junaid
