search and replace, paragraph mark
I was sent a Ms word 2003 file from publisher that has a lot of endnote
numbers that are character spacing/position/lowered by 8.5 pt I would like to search and replace that with normal 9 point, which I can do ok, but I also want to add in that search and replace process a new paragraph mark (indent) before the 'normal 9 point' change but search and replace replaces the 8.5 with the paragraph mark when I try and does not do both changing to normal 9 point AND add the paragraph indent.... how do I get it to do both? |

search and replace, paragraph mark
Hi,
Before going to the trouble of using Find/Replace to change fonts and insert new paragraph marks, I'd suggest checking whether the paragraphs you're concerned with have been properly formatted using a Style. If so, getting the font attributes and paragraph spacing you're after is a simple matter of changing the Style format. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "removing all headers and footers" t.com wrote in message ...

Hi, I really need to do what I indicate above. The problem is not only the
8.5 font numbers, but that those endnotes somehow are run into previous endnotes, not sure how that happened. But it happened when they sent me the publisher's original print file in Word , now to revise for a new edition. These notes do not have paragraph styles that I can find.

Hi,
Unless you use a macro, I think you'll have to do the Find/Replace update in two steps - one to change the font and one to insert the extra para mark. As for the Style-based solution, endnotes are normally assigned the 'Endnote Text' Style. AFAIK this defaults to the 'Normal' style's attributes, but with a 10pt font. The document's author may have: 1. updated the Style; 2. overridden the Style by hard-formatting the endnote paragraphs; or 3. applied a different Style I still believe updating & applying the Style is the best way to go. -- Cheers macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "removing all headers and footers" t.com wrote in message ...
