So far I have entered the "segmentation rules" section and have tried to add the word "body": as the end of the segment but without success as the regex only seems to accept single characters.

Does anybody know how to do this?

You need to add two expressions:

*Also, if you want memoQ not to segment by ":", you can remove that character from the 'Segment end' field in the simple view. Then you will be able to filter segments by a quotation mark (in the source filter field, type " or ^" with 'Use regex' box checked to make sure you only filter segments starting with ") and lock them all:
