Can find " ^p " in number-bulleted text, can't replace it: why?
I've got a text distributed in number-bullets instead of normal lining (it
serves referential purposes), but I want to edit it (erase one space at the end of a verse and another one at the beginning, but keep the same verse distribution), and I can't manage to do it automatically, since it seems to function differently searching ("Finding") from Replacing. Why is this? What can I do for this function to work as it does when "Finding"? I'm using Word 2007. Find ^p [i.e.: space-paragraph-space] Replace ^p [i.e.: paragraph] |

I've just now done what I believe you say you're doing, and it works
perfectly -- both ways, going from space^pspace to ^p and back again. Since you say the Find aspect is working, I assume you don't have "Use wildcards" checked (^p doesn't work when that option is checked). What about experimenting to see if you can use some other replacement, just for starters, to see if the hangup is the ^p or the replace in general? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Boot-Software" wrote in message ...

Replacement otherwise works fine: I can, for example, substitute ^p for
(i.e.: one space) or for anything else, but there seems to be some problem when wanting to include in my search two spaces, one from the end of one line, and the other from the beginning of the next; something about bullet-line frontier. In fact, when I do this change (^p for space) a misterious small _ (smaller than normal) appears. Never had this 'problem'. Of course, I have no wildcards on. I'll give a miniature example of what I'm working on: 184. den-ki-ke4 duttu a Å¡ag4 mu-ni-in-ri 185. a Å¡ag4-ga Å¡u ba-Å¡i-in-ti a den-ki-ka3-kam As you will notice, between the bullet-numbers and the text there's automatic indentation, but also one space before each first letter. However, differently from this, indentation is not selectable. Anyway, thanks very much for your help. |
