Help with breaks - Word 2003
I have a 149 page doc filled with column breaks and section breaks. Is there
any way to delete them all in one action? I have tried the Line and Page breaks tab, but nothing happened. So, I am deleting it one by one! It's exasperating! |

Use the Edit Replace dialog. Click the More button to expand the
bottom half of the dialog. With the cursor in the Find What box, click the Special button, and choose "Section break" near the bottom of the list. This puts the code ^b in the Find What box. Leave the Replace With box empty. Click the Replace All button. Now remove the ^b from the Find What box. Click the Special button and choose "Column break" from the middle of the list. This puts the code ^n in the Find What box. Click the Replace All button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Use Find and Replace. ^m matches page breaks; ^n matches column breaks.
Replace with nothing. "Inês" wrote in message ... I have a 149 page doc filled with column breaks and section breaks. Is there any way to delete them all in one action? I have tried the Line and Page breaks tab, but nothing happened. So, I am deleting it one by one! It's exasperating! |
