Deleting hard retunrs
I have a long list of email addresses which are separated by commas, and I
want to convert the list to a table. When I tried to do this I discovered that there are often hard returns (this is what I call the appearance of the paragraph symbol) in the middle of an address, making it useless. Is there some way to use the find and replace function to eliminate these hard returns? Please reply to Thanks, Thorns Craven |

Turn on "Show/Hide Paragraph" from the icon on the standard toolbar. Open
Edit-Replace. Click "More," then Click on "Special" and select Paragraph Mark for the "Find what" box. Be sure the "Replace with" box is empty of all entries (unless you want to put in a space or something else). Click Find Next, and see if it works. If it does, click "Change All" and you're done.

Is there some way to use the find and replace function to eliminate these hard returns? Yes. Open the Replace dialog and click the More button. In the bottom of the dialog, click the Special button and select Paragraph Mark from the list. That will place the code ^p in the Find What box. Then move the cursor to the Replace With box. Click Special again and choose whatever character you want to replace the paragraph mark -- a good choice is Manual Line Break, which is the character you get in text when you press Shift+Enter. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
