Count phrase that spans two lines
Is there a way to count the number of occurences that spans two lines?
For example, in the document, it states: Category : Fruit STATUS : Open How do I count the number of occurences in Word that display these two lines together? Thank you for your help, Amy |

Count phrase that spans two lines
Press Ctrl+H
Set Find:Category : Fruit^pSTATUS: Open Set Replace:^& ....and click Replace All. (Note: I probably didn't get the spacing correct, but the key is to separate them with ^p, which is a special character that means "paragraph mark" in Word search-ese. ^& is a special character meaning "whatever you found". This will replace all occurrences with exactly what's there (hence, not really changing anything), and it will report the number of "changes". -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Amy" wrote in message ...
