How do I remove returns from each line in word so I can convert my doc into a
text file to import it in ACT or Excel? I need to remove returns from all lines and can't figure it out. |

How do I remove returns from each line in word?
The return, usually a paragraph mark, can be found using Find/Replace by
using ^p in the Find field. I'm trying to visualize what you're doing, and it's hard to imagine why you'd want to delete _all_ of the returns. That would leave you without any record separators. But, assuming that's what you want to do, ^p will do it. Note: if your file uses line breaks instead of paragrah marks, you would match those using ^l or ^11. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "CustomPurseParty-com" wrote in message ...
