When you're pasting from Web pages, you're much more likely to get line
breaks because HTML seems to convert a paragraph break into two line
breaks.

Thanks everybody-
Steve - don't really know how these things come - as I said, sometimes
when I copy/paste (probably from a web page, but I'm not sure that is
the only time) it just 'happens'

And thank you also Ms. Barnhill , right on target as always.

Much appreciate the help

Dave

To: Dave,

The Clock at nine o'clock symbol is part of the Wingdings character set
with
an ASCII value of 191 (which is an upside down question mark in normal
text).
The bigger question, is how does it come to appear in your text when you
copy/paste?

Occasionally, when I copy/paste some text, the 'Enter' character takes
the
form of a symbol like the hands of a clock at 9:00 PM, with the end of
the
hour hand taking the form of a small arrow.

I'd like to be able to Find/Replace these characters, except I can't
find
out what the symbol is, and I don't see how to get it into the Find
window.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thx
Dave
