mass formatting in word 2002
Hello,
I have a task that I want to automate as much as possible. In a long document I have a style called Heading 3 which is bold and has titles of movies. And at the end of each title there is a year in parenthesis like this: Dances with Wolves (1990) Now I want to unbold the Year and Parenthesis for all these entries in Heading 3. Is there a way to do this as a find and replace or macro? Thanks so much Octavee |

Find and Replace will do it.
Find: (^#^#^#^#) style = Heading 3 Replace: ^& font = not bold You need to click More on the dialog to get to the formatting options. "Octavee Uhl" octavee (no spam) @ gmx.net wrote in message ...

Find/Replace will do it without a macro.
In that dialog, first click the More button. In the Find What box, type (^#^#^#^#) which represents four digits within parentheses (or you can click the Special button and select "Any Digit" to get one ^# code and repeat that four times). Click the Format button at the bottom of the dialog, choose Style from the dropdown menu, and select Heading 3 in the dialog. When you click OK, you should see "Format: Style: Heading 3" below the Find What box. In the Replace With box, type ^& which represents the Find What Text, that is, whatever the Find What expression matches each time. Then press Ctrl+B twice, so it says "Format: Font: Not Bold" below the Replace With box. Finally, click the Replace All button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
