manual line breaks
I've been given a document with lots (29 pages) of manual line breaks in the
middle of sentences. I can go through and delete them all individually, but this would take too much time. Is there any way I can delete all formatting? I've tried going into cut and paste special and that doesn't work |

manual line breaks
Use Find and Replace: ^l (that's an ell, not a one) is the Find code for
line break. "Amy C Johnston" Amy C wrote in message ... I've been given a document with lots (29 pages) of manual line breaks in the middle of sentences.

manual line breaks
Hi,
thanks for your help. I tried to use the find and replace tool but it said there are no line breaks in the document. It also said there are no parapgraph breaks in the document.

Well either it's telling the truth and the formatting problem with your
document is something else, or you're not using Find and Replace properly. "Amy C Johnston" wrote in message ... Hi, thanks for your help.

Click the Show/Hide button from the Standard Toolbar then click Edit - Replace.
In Replace Dialog box - click More - then click Special button and choose Paragraph Mark and leave Replace With blank... If that doesn't work please specify the mark ending in the line in your next post. Hope it help, let us know. "Amy C Johnston" wrote: Hi, thanks for your help.
