Search and Replace with Sequential Number
Hi
I'm sure there's any easy (ish) way to do this but I'm struggling and would really appreciate any help. I have a document that is exported from an Access Database. Throughout the Word Document "#" characters appear. What is need is something to find all the "#"'s and replace them with sequential numbering. I can't just use the autonumbering because other lines/entries get picked up and I don't want those numbering. Thanks! TB |

Search and Replace with Sequential Number
To replace all "#" characters with a sequential number, do the
following: 1. Insert a SEQ field by pressing Ctrl+F9. Word inserts field delimiters, { }. Then type SEQ mylist. Press F9 to update. Copy the field to the clipboard. 2. Press Ctrl+H to display the Find and Replace dialog box. 3. "Find what": # "Replace with": ^c 4. Click Replace All. 5. Switch to Print Preview and back to update the SEQ fields. Note: Make sure to try this on a copy of the document first, just in case. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP wrote in message oups.com...
