For Find&Replace, How clear FORMAT for replaced text?
Am using MS Office Word 2003, SP3. Having problems with Find&Replace, can't
find a way to 'reset' it and clear out old/prior find's... 1st step: replaced some text and style at same time: For Find&Replace, I chose to find TEXT and replace it with TEXT-NEW with Format drop-down used to make TEXT-NEW also have Heading1 style, while it's doing the replace. Worked great. 2nd step: just want to replace some other text: Now I want to do an entirely new Find&Replace... Find OTHERTEXT and repalce it with OTHERTEXT-NEW... and ignore style...that is, whatever the syle is, just keep it. Problem is (for 2nd step)... it's slamming OTHERTEXT-NEW with Heading1 style. I can't seem to clear this out. Already tried clicking "no style" under the FORMAT drop-down, but that is just as bad... it erases whatever style OTHERTEXT had. So, isn't there a way to start a new/fresh Find&Replace that ignores all previous FORMAT-ing for the Replace? Thanks, George |

For Find&Replace, How clear FORMAT for replaced text?
With the cursor in the Replace With box, click the No Formatting button (the
rightmost of the three across the bottom of the Replace dialog). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
