Bug in Word 2000?
Came across a strange anomaly in Word 2000 today. Editing a document with
lots of spurious spaces before paragraph marks, revealed by toggling on paragraph and space marks. If I set up Find for these, Word does correctly find each one and I can manually edit. But if I set up Find and Replace to automate it, Word no longer finds them, although it is exactly the same in the Find section. (Yes, I did try when I hadn't already edited them all!) Bug? Any other similar experiences? |

Bug in Word 2000?
Hi Aalaan,
Came across a strange anomaly in Word 2000 today. Editing a document with lots of spurious spaces before paragraph marks, revealed by toggling on paragraph and space marks. If I set up Find for these, Word does correctly find each one and I can manually edit. But if I set up Find and Replace to automate it, Word no longer finds them, although it is exactly the same in the Find section. (Yes, I did try when I hadn't already edited them all!) Bug? Any other similar experiences? Sounds very much like the file was originally created in a different program, then converted to a Word doc. Or opened in Word. These would probably be characters associated with a "new line" in that other program that Word is unsure how to deal with.
