Adding Extra Characters with Style
This is probably crazy and/or impossible, but I'd like to add
characters at the beginning and end of a style automatically. I'm formatting a document in multiple ways using templates, and I'd like one version to use [ and ] around a certain style (both paragraph and character level styles) and one version to use ( and ). Is there anyway to implement that with styles instead of doing a search and replace--which will likely catch other stuff that I don't want included? Or some other easy way to do it? Or am I just out of luck and I have to chose one braket style and use it for all versions? Thanks, Chris |

Adding Extra Characters with Style
Alright, I thought that would be the case. Thanks for that search info.
It does just what I want. It's amazing how powerful word really is in some areas. And thanks for the quick response! --Chris Graham Mayor wrote: You can't do this automatically. If your document is formatted correctly using PARAGRAPH styles replace will work - Using wildcards Replace (*)(^13) - format style (select style) with Leading text \1 trailing text \2 If you want to add the text to CHARACTER styles then Put nothing in the find box and - format style (select character style) Uncheck the wildcards box In the replace box put Leading text ^& trailing text The secret of successful searches is to use unambiguous search strings See also http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: This is probably crazy and/or impossible, but I'd like to add characters at the beginning and end of a style automatically.
