Hi Doug,
You have made my Tuesday a happy one. The macro was a snap. Thanks so much for thinking of it and posting! :-) Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, *((( ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ On Mon, 18 Sep 2006 22:05:00 +0200, "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote: Use a macro containing the following code: Dim i As Long For i = ActiveDocument.Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1 ActiveDocument.Shapes(i).Delete Next -- Hope this helps.

I can't do that. There's too much other formatting that I have to keep. I can use find/replace on formatting to get the styles applied. But unless someone can think of another way -- I guess I'm going to have to hunt and peck and find hundreds of drawing lines and delete them one by one. I was hoping that somehow they might be on a different layer that I could go to and just kill them all.

"*(((" wrote in message om... I'm using Word 2002. I've OCR'd a long text and am cleaning it up. There are lines here and there. They are not graphical lines. They are not underlines or text-created lines. They are the lines that when highlighted, show a colored round "handle" at each end. There are hundreds of them. I'd like to find a quick way to get rid of all of them. Suggestions? Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, *((( ~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ |
