"REPLACE" issue on Microsoft Word

Tilde not working to replace asterisk?
I'm not sure if using the tilde followed by the asterisk no longer works to find and replace the asterisk, or if I have something set weird. I am pretty sure I've always used ~* when wanting to find and replace an * but now Excel gives the error that "There's a problem with this formula". Is there another easy way to do it? Thanks!Find and Replace with Growing Number
Hello, I editing some word documents made by some coworkers and they have a series of tables and figures that are all named "Table XX:" or "Figure XX:" were the XX are actually two "X" characters. I need to go through and renumber them so that the first table will become "Table 1:" and the second table will be "Table 2:". I would also need to change all the figure names too. Is there a way of doing this in word? Thanks in Advance, Ryan Kung
