- Be able to apply multiple levels of formatting to a document.
This assignment is in honor of one of the members of your class who delights in puzzles, games and logic. You will be formatting a Wikipedia article on the Liar paradox, a classical logic puzzle/problem.
- Download this document. Make sure you save it someplace you can find it later.
- The document has a series of [edit] tags left from Wikipedia. You need to delete these.
- On the Home Tab in the Editing Workgroup select Replace
- Replace [edit] with a space.
- Replace all, there should be 14 replacements.
- There are also a number of references ([1], [2], ...) in the document. You need to remove these as well.

- This time we will us a pattern to find all of them.
- Click on the more button.
- Click the box next to Use wildcards.
- The search pattern can now include something called a regular expression.
- For those that don't care, type \[[0-9]*\] in the find box and a space in the replace box.
- There should be 22 replacements.
- \[[0-9]\] is called a regular expression (re)
- Regular expressions are only valid when we tell word to use wildcards.
- [ and ] have special meaning in a re, so \[ says look for the actual character [, do not use the special meaning.
- [0-9] in a re means match any character in the range 0-9
- * means match 0 or more of these.
- Select all text and mark it as normal text (document style).
