I want to identify and extract all the words in a document that are followed by the register mark (®) symbol.

I built, what I thought was a regular expression that would search for a register mark preceeded by alpha number characters and a space. So if my text contained the sentence "My first car was a Chevrolet Vega®.", the regular expression would find "Vega®"

Below is the regular expression I composed. Wouldn't the \s restrict the search to characters with a register mark that are preceded by a whitespace character?

Instead, it grabs anything with a register mark, not just the register marks preceded by a space and alpha numeric characters.

Where did I go wrong?

\s[\w-®]

 

Perhaps:
<[! ]@®>
Using a wildcard Find in Word, this will find any word containing the ® character, up to and including that character.

Cheers
