Replace cannot find Paragraph Mark
I need to replace what appears to be a paragraph mark in a big document.
There are 3 in a row. This document was a text file (.txt) that I opened in Word 2002. When I wanted to get rid of 2 out of 3 of the marks, the find/replace could only find 1 paragraph mark, the one at the end of the document. So the mark looks the same, but it must not be. HELP ME. I have done this before (last month) with no problems, so it must be an option somewhere that got put on or off, I just don't know where. |

Have you tried to Copy and Paste the 'rogue' paragraph marks into the FIND
box (note that you need to use the keyboard commands to copy/paste into the FIND what box? -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Dave C" Dave wrote in message ...

I tried to copy and paste into fine, it would just past a blank, so that did
not work. I did all the tricks from http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm, but that did not help. I tried my WORD 97 and it did JUST FINE! It was in another computer here, so still am not sure why, so that symbol looks like a paragraph mark, but must be something else.

Replace cannot find Paragraph Mark
And paragraph marks right in front of tables can't replaced.
Which makes sense if you try to remove them in the replacement (because tables can't be inline), but else is just an awful nuisance. Klaus |
