"find" not finding formatting marks
Thank the both of you. Clearing those check boxes for those marks was
exactly what needed to be done. Now I can proceed with my work. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote: In the Find what: field, use ^p for paragraph marks, and ^m for manual page breaks. Use wildcards should NOT be checked. If Ctrl+Shift+8 doesn't toggle some non-printing marks off, then they are "permanently" set to display in Tools - Options - View - Formatting marks section. When items there are not checked, Ctrl+Shift+8 (and the paragraph tool in the toolbar) toggles them on/off. When items there are checked, then the toggle will not affect the ones that are checked. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "OfficeNDN" wrote in message ... I am trying to find manual page breaks and paragraph marks to edit them. I have tried a "find", "find & replace" but neither has found any formatting marks. This is not correct because I have task pane on the "reveal formatting" page and "show all formatting marks" is checked. I can see the paragraph marks and page breaks in the document myself. But the "find" and "find and replace" functions are unable to find them. What is wrong? I am using word 2002 and the file type is a word document. |
