Default Find and replace, insert tab before

Two suggestions:

1. When doing the Find and Replace, I would suggest setting the Find
What to look for the Style (H2, for example) and setting the Replace
with to ^t^& (which puts a tab in front of whatever text is found). For
H3 you would replace with ^t^t^& and so forth.

2. In order to import the text, you may need to save the file as a text
file rather than rtf. I don't know what type of database you are using
but I have encountered issues in the past with importing data and found
that the data needed to be in a true text file format to import
properly.

Hope this helps.

I tried using format and got it to find the line. I want to insert a tab ^t
before each subheading and two tabs on the third heading. The idea is such
that I can insert each into a field in the database.



When I initially tried to import it, the conversion would not recognize the
paragraph markers.



I tried using XML but this caused errors .



You can download the file from here.

Any help appreciated.
