Search and replace
I'm using Word 2003, and recently had a problem with a document prepared by
someone else: the originator, instead of formatting the document for double spacing, manually placed two hard returns at the end of each line. Subsequently, I had to add some text to the document, and I did not put manual returns, as I was not aware of what the originator had done. So, I had some lines that had two hard returns at the end of the line, and some that had automatic returns (single-spaced). What I wanted to do was search for the two hard returns, and replace them with nothing, and then I was going to select the whole document, and use a macro I've created for double spacing. However, I was not able to find the character in the search dialog box for the manual hard return. Does it exist? I ultimately fixed the document line by line, but would like to know what to do if this situation occurs again. Thank you for your time. Jeannine Dube |
