Using "Find and Replace" for Symbols
Using Word 2002/XP. I am looking for certain Symbols in the text, for example ® or & etc. I will typically copy the symbol and using Ctrl + V, paste it into the "Find What" in the Find and Replace dialog box. However, one particular symbol I am looking for is the ¬ (the "Not Sign") which is ASCII decimal 0172. When I try to copy and paste that symbol into the "Find What" box, nothing pastes, and the "Find Next" button grays out. I have experimented with copying and pasting a variety of other symbols (from Insert/Symbol) and all that I have tried will paste in except that ¬ [I realize the ¬ symbol may not transmit with this posted message, but I am talking about the "Not Sign"]. Any hints would be appreciated. I have a longish document that is full of "Not Signs" and I want to copy and replace them. Thanks. -- John Hanley To send return email: jphanley @ ix. netcom. com ---------------------------------------- |
