Find and Replace question
I have a long file which was taken from the web in which I would like to
replace all paragraph marks that precede by a letter: a^p, b^p etc. How do I do it in one go? I have tried wildcards in the find and replace window but it does not accept *^p. Thanks. |

Find and Replace question
With Wildcards, you need to use ^13 rather than ^p in the Find what control.
See the article "Cleaning up text pasted from the Web" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm -- Hope this helps.

Find and Replace question
The link Jay & Doug have provided is probably more appropriate but to
understand the mechanics of the replace function, see http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org z3365 wrote: I have a long file which was taken from the web in which I would like to replace all paragraph marks that precede by a letter: a^p, b^p etc. How do I do it in one go?
