Could you please help me the the following search-and-MARK problem I am having?

Here is the data I currently have (“before” data):

<td colspan="4" width="2000" height="304"><font size="2">I</font>n another life,

Here is how I would like that data to look (“after” data):

<td colspan="4" width="2000" height="304">  (I want just this highlighted)

To accomplish this, I have tried using the following Find/Replace expressions and settings

• Find What = <td .*>
• Replace With = HIGHLIGHT/MARK
• Search Mode = REGULAR EXPRESSION or NORMAL (tried both of these)
• Dot Matches Newline = CHECKED or NOT CHECKED (I don’t see this option)

HERE IS WHY YOU THOUGHT YOUR EXPRESSION WOULD WORK

I understand why it is going beyond the first argument, I just don’t know how to limit it.

Thank you in advance!
