Find/Replace specific character
I need to remove "" and "" from a document full of them so that it
may be adapted to an html page for obvious reasons. I'm trying to use Find & Replace to just remove those two characters but have only found solutions that will eliminate all punctuation which is not what I want. What is the syntax to make find/replace work or, failing that, a macro to do the job? Thanks to all. |

Find/Replace specific character
As silly as it sound, I did try it and it failed before, but I think I
had a bad option checked. I just tried it again and now it's fine. Thank for saving me from myself. On Jan 23, 11:01 pm, "Suzanne S.
