Table Cell Markers

[Barbara Pfeiffer]

I am trying to do a wild card search in a table. Names appear tw
different ways - John Smith and John Smith*. I want to find every tim
John Smith appears WITHOUT an asterick. So I type find John Smith[!/*]
This works for every instance of John Smith UNLESS John Smith is th
only thing in the cell and is followed by a cell marker, then it won'
find that instance of John Smith at all. Why does it do this? Doe
anyone know of a way to do this? Any help appreciated

I see this too, but I haven't been able to find a workaround.
