Replace white space with tab
In Word2000 per the article;
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=212311 you can replace spaces with a tab specifying the minimum number of times the space character must occur if I'm understanding this correctly: To convert multiple instances of white space characters, such as spaces or tab characters, to a single instance of the character, use the following advanced criteria in the Find What box in the Find and Replace dialog box. x{y,} where x is the character you are searching for, such as a space, and y is the minimum number of instances that the character must appear in order to be replaced. Can you do this in Word 2003? and if so how? Thanks, Steve |

Hmm...
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=212311 leads me to a page in German, in case you are using a German, Dutch, Norwegian?, Danish?, Swedish? ...? version, the listseperator would be a semicolon ";", US and most countries: x{y,} some banana republics: x{y;} -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Thanks Graham, I will have to study that. I don't know what's wrong with the
javascript on this newreader but the link you supply doesn't work when I click on it here in the reader, but it's correct and I did find the page going to your home.
