Getting rid of trailing period in each line of a list
I have a list of 1500 email addresses that I have copied into a blank
Word document. Each address has a period at the end, which obviously shouldn't be there. Is there a way to tell Word (through a macro or find or something) to get rid of that period (and not the one(s) that belong in an email address)? I have tried recording a macro, which I got to work, but I have to run it for each line (I'm not very well-versed in macros). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! --Elise |

Getting rid of trailing period in each line of a list
Are the e-mail addresses one per line? If so use Replace (CTRL+H) to replace
..^p with ^p If not, how are they arranged? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Elise wrote: I have a list of 1500 email addresses that I have copied into a blank Word document.

Getting rid of trailing period in each line of a list
That's perfect - it worked! I was trying varieties of those other
codes, for some reason I didn't think to use the paragraph mark one (I guess I had a mental block with the word "paragraph"). Thanks so much!

Getting rid of trailing period in each line of a list
If they're not in separate paragraphs, then hopefully there's at least
one space after each one, and you can do the same kind of Find/Replace by typing a space instead of the ^p in the Find and Replace boxes.
