Replace soft returns (SHIFT+Enter) w/ Paragraph Mark (^p)
I've got a document that has several "soft return" which is created by
pressing SHIFT+Enter keys. I'm trying to replace those with "hard returns" aka paragraph mark, but cannot find anything in the "Special" menu in the Find & Replace dialog box. Any insight or answers to this??? |

Greg gave the fix--but a PS: Word calls soft returns manual line breaks,
which is how they are listed in the Special menu in F&R. And hard returns are paragraph marks.

Thank you so much! Sometimes it's confusing when changing from one software
program to another, especially when I started out when we had the old manual typewriters! Have a great day!

Replace soft returns (SHIFT+Enter) w/ Paragraph Mark (^p)
In the find & replace dialog box, use ^l (that is, ^ followed by lowercase
L) for manual line break. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Rajula" wrote in message ...
