I don't think it will work with wild cards either??? :( :( :(

Well - thinking laterally - if you do Ctrl-F on the worksheet and FIND "paint" and ReplaceAll with "paint", every instance of PAINT, Paint, pAiNT etc will be changed to "paint" as this FIND is not case sensitive, do the same for "paper", and the formula FIND case sensitivity issue disappears.
