I have encountered another problem with this. It seems difficult to replace
formatting only and not the text. I overcame the first bit becasue the words
were the same throught out the document eg Broader Term so I added that after
the ^t^t. The problem I have now is that because I have put these tab markers
in the replace with what box it removes the existing text. There are 5800
word to replace and they are mostly unique.

I did create a new style with the 2 tabs in but that doesn't put the tab
markers in unless you use the tab key and with so many to replace would take
me ages. Is there a way of saying replace the formating without the text or
using wildcards or something to tell it to leave the text. (Replacing
formating only works if you don't need to put the markers in the Replace with
box but that is the only way to do it isn't it?)

Thanks Lyn

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.
