Thanks so much Will - It was ^t I needed and then worked out to keep the text
that was already there so what I needed to put into the replace field was
^t^& and it worked fine. Because the document I was editing was from a 3rd
party and set up for printing the styles were not named. The style they had
was what I said in the previous post and didn't show in the style list in F&R
so I just renamed the style and it appeared. Many thanks Lyn

I have a large document 260 pages and we are exporting it (or importing it)
to a EDMS. The problem is that to successfully import in the EDMs it needs to
have carriage returns (the easy bit) and tabs to indent levels correctly.
Currently the style is Normal+indent:Left 1.27cm, First Line:1.27cm, Space
befo 0pt, Space after:0pt.

I created a new style saying Normal+Tabs 1.27cm Left automatically update.

I thought I could apply this in place of the other style but it doens't put
in the tab unless I do it manually which is what I am trying to avoid. Anyone
have any ideas on what we could do to avoid manually changing 260 pages.
Many thanks Lyn

use find and replace. search for the style. it should find only the
styled paragraphs, replace with ^p and the thing you found. "thing you
found" is a special search option. you will see it when select more
options in the find and replace dialog.

let me know.
