Leading spaces
I moved Word documents from an older version of Word to Word 2002. In the
older version the first line of each paragraph was indented by 3 hard spaces. Is there an easy way to remove the leading spaces and use a tab instead.? -- Sandra |

Leading spaces
G'Day Sandra,
You could search for a Para Marker followed by 3 Spaces, and Replace with a Para Marker followed by a Tab. In Search/Replace use the two-character code '^p' for a Para, and '^t' for Tab ... so .. Search for '^p ' and replace with '^p^t' (no quotes). -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "SB Mull" wrote in message ...

Leading spaces
Select the text (CTRL+A) centre the text (CTRL+E) left align the text
(CTRL+L) This should lose the leading spaces. Now apply an indented paragraph style and forget all about tabs. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org SB Mull wrote: I moved Word documents from an older version of Word to Word 2002.

Thanks very much. This was easiest solution I received - don't know why it
is not in any of the MS Help documentation. -- Sandra "Graham Mayor" wrote: Select the text (CTRL+A) centre the text (CTRL+E) left align the text (CTRL+L) This should lose the leading spaces.
