I miss this feature. Word doesn't seem to have something similar, at least, not easily accesible.

>Sergey - do you remember the old Word Perfect (5.1 - DOS)?

>The thesarus feature was great for cheating on crossword puzzles! A word could be looked up using wildcards in the character positions that were unknown. For wexample, with the posted key:
>
>find ???14421* would list any word with 14421 begining at 4th position. It would also allow searches with a??14421????1. It was more a filter than a seek - but it was great for crossword puzzels!

>>You can use index only for SEEK starting from the begining of the index expression. To SEEK on the part of the field you would have to create another index

INDEX ON SUBSTR(item, 4,5) TAG item48

>>>
>>>i have a table1 with an index 'item', my problem is how seek all items starting in 4th position to the 8th positon without changing my index?
>>>e.g
>>>abc14421xyz01
>>>i need to seek all 1442 using seek statement and not select statement.
