Replace spaces with tabs
I pasted some text into my Word document, but instead of using tabs to
separate sections, there are several spaces. Can I use find and replace to replace all four space sections with a tab instead? Thanks, Amanda |

Replace spaces with tabs
I am not really sure what you mean by a "space section", but to replace
something with a tab space, insert ^t in the Replace with section of the EditReplace dialog. If it is four spaces that you want to replace, press the space bar four times when the cursor is in the Find what box of the dialog. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Amandar097" wrote in message ...
