I want to search for all returns and replace with comma
What symbol is it that I should put into search for field if I want to take
out all returns and replace with comma's. This was so easy in Wordperfect ! Julie |

go to edit, go to find, click the more button, at the bottom of the screen,
click the symbol button, choose paragraph mark, then in the replace field, just but a comma "Miazelli" wrote: What symbol is it that I should put into search for field if I want to take out all returns and replace with comma's. This was so easy in Wordperfect ! Julie |

Do you mean paragraph marks or line breaks? Anyway, the symbols are ^p and
^l respectively, entered directly or selected from the drop-down on the find and replace dialog. "Miazelli" wrote in message ... What symbol is it that I should put into search for field if I want to take out all returns and replace with comma's. This was so easy in Wordperfect ! Julie |

Thank you both, but I already tried that ^i for manual return. But this is
not finding anything. I have a document with names and addresses: Mr. Smit Zales Company xxxx Sth Road New York, NY 10000 I want to take out the return between Mr. Smith & Zales Company (etc.) and replace with a comma so I can format in text, open in Excel and just locate the email address. This was actually very simple with WordPerfect and I remember finally figuring it out in word quite some time ago but now have forgotten. "Jezebel" wrote: Do you mean paragraph marks or line breaks?

If ^l doesn't find it, try ^13.

There is a way to do this I just forgot and was hoping someone would know. I used to do this daily with lists that were received. Again, very very simple in WordPerfect but a bit tricky with Word.

Thank you, that was it. I am putting this into my Outlook/Note. It has been
so long since I had to do this I forgot the command. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If ^l doesn't find it, try ^13. -- Suzanne S.
