The lack of regular expression support in Office is quite frankly astounding.

Glad you agree! I realise that they are available via VB, but why on earth can't I have easy GUI access in dialogues such as Conditional Formatting and Data Validation?!

If you don't mind using UDFs (User Defined Excel Functions), regular expression matching is also possible:

Cheers, useful reading matter.

Target: Thanks for your input too also :)

Oooh - looks interesting.

I have never used Python but may have a look as this develops.

When prototyping games I have always laid out cards on a portrait page 3x3 as I then get 9 per page rather than 8. Just a thought!

I would dearly love to see a good card prototyping environment developed, and would even lend a hand if I could. I most recently looked at NanDeck, but was quickly turned off as it seemed rather clunky.
