What symbol is it that I should put into search for field if I want to take
out all returns and replace with comma's.

This was so easy in Wordperfect !

Julie

go to edit, go to find, click the more button, at the bottom of the screen,
click the symbol button, choose paragraph mark, then in the replace field,
just but a comma

Do you mean paragraph marks or line breaks? Anyway, the symbols are ^p and
^l respectively, entered directly or selected from the drop-down on the find
and replace dialog.

Thank you both, but I already tried that ^i for manual return. But this is
not finding anything.

I have a document with names and addresses:

Mr. Smit
Zales Company
xxxx Sth Road
New York, NY 10000


I want to take out the return between Mr. Smith & Zales Company (etc.) and
replace with a comma so I can format in text, open in Excel and just locate
the email address.

This was actually very simple with WordPerfect and I remember finally
figuring it out in word quite some time ago but now have forgotten.

Thanks again, but I used the command as Word inserts it when selecting
Special\Manual page break - it was the correct symbol I just typed it wrong
in the messageboard.

There is a way to do this I just forgot and was hoping someone would know.
I used to do this daily with lists that were received. Again, very very
simple in WordPerfect but a bit tricky with Word.

If ^l doesn't find it, try ^13.

Thank you, that was it. I am putting this into my Outlook/Note. It has been
so long since I had to do this I forgot the command.
