inserting semi-colons for a mass emailing
We have a 55 page document that contains email addresses. We are trying to
copy all these pages to do a mass mailing but you need to have a semi-colon inbetween each email address in order for it to go through. We do not want to have to go through all 55 pages and manually insert a semi-colon after each email address. Does anyone know of a way to insert a semi-colon at the end of each line with one step? |

You can use Find and Replace - if each address is on a line of its own all
you need top know is how the line is ended - with a manual line break or a paragraph mark (both are choosable via the Special... button). Find (your end of line character) Replace with ;^& Hit Replace All -- Enjoy, Tony "megansimon-sportscommission" wrote in message ... We have a 55 page document that contains email addresses.

I assume from your last sentence that the addresses are one per line with a
paragraph mark after each one (click the ¶ button on the toolbar -- do you see that symbol at the end of each address? -- click it again to turn them off). If that's the case: - Open the Edit Replace dialog. - In the Find box, enter ^p - In the Replace box, enter ;^p - Click the Replace All button. If you don't want the paragraph marks between the addresses in the final version, leave out the ^p in the Replace box -- just enter the semicolon, and maybe a space character to make it more readable. -- 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. megansimon-sportscommission wrote: We have a 55 page document that contains email addresses.
