Newmanualising

/\{\{manual\|MI\|2002\|([^]]*)\|Section\|[^]]*\|comp\}\}/ ==> {{isdamanual|$1}}

Paragraph wrap

Find “paragraph 9(i)(a),” and wrap with prov tag: FInd: Paragraph ([0-9][!.,; ]{1,}) Replace: Paragraph {{nycsaprov|\1}}

Search destroy

Convert a fullanat2 into an ISDA anat: /\{\{fullanat2\|isda\|([^]]*)\|2002\|[^]]*\|1992\}\}/ ==> {{isdaanat|$1}} Delete a redundant Equity Derivative Nuts: /\{\{eqderivanat\|([0-9]*.[0-9]*$[a-z]*$)}}/ /\{\{nuts\|Equity Derivatives\|[0-9]*.[0-9]*$[a-z]*$\}\}/ ==> {{eqderivanat|$1}}

Tagging everything coloured blue

search and destroy

double spaces
Fields (ctrl-shift-F9)
bookmarks - there's a cool macro for this:

Sub RemoveAllBookmarks()

    Dim objBookmark As bookmark

    For Each objBookmark In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks

        objBookmark.Delete

    Next

End Sub

. Clear out all blue dashes - replace them with xxx
. Clear out all blue apostrophes - replace them with yyy
. Clear ot all blue spaces - replace them with qqq (this won't do the ones either side of the blue phrase)

Find: ([A-Z][a-z]{1,}) ([A-Z][a-z]{1,}) (use wildcards, font colour: blue)
Replace: \1qqq/2

. Now your tags are all continuous blue strings. So brace them:

Find: <(?{1,})> (use wildcards, font colour: blue)
Replace: {{wikitag|\1}} (font colour blue)

Now restore spaces, apostrophes and dashes.

Mwah.

Indenting wikified autonumbering

In a word doc, make all your numbering reveal every level (eg “13(c)(vii)(B)” with the ferocity of a US securities lawyer. you can do this in the “Define Multilevel Lists” dialogue.
Copy your whole doc into a text-only email. It will faithfully convert all those numbers to text. You will lose the indenting. We will put it back.
Switch on Use wildcards in the replace dialogue.

Find: ^13([0-9]{1,}$[a-z,A-Z,0-9]{1,}$$[a-z,A-Z,0-9]{1,}$$[a-z,A-Z,0-9]{1,}$)
Replace: ^13:::\1

Then

Find: ^13([0-9]{1,}$[a-z,A-Z,0-9]{1,}$$[a-z,A-Z,0-9]{1,}$)
Replace: ^13::\1
