delete controls from Word documents
I have a huge word document created using copy-paste from browser.
There are a lot of radio buttons (and other controls, as well). Is it possible to remove all of them from my document? Thanks, Julia |

One way is to select all and then cut. On the Edit menu, click Paste
Special, and choose to paste as "Unformatted Text." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "julia" wrote in message ... I have a huge word document created using copy-paste from browser.

CTRL+A CTRL+C Edit Paste Special Unformatted text should do the trick.
If it doesn't do what you want, make sure you don't saved the revised version. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org julia wrote: I have a huge word document created using copy-paste from browser.

Try doing a Edit Find/Replace with ^g -- it usually finds these sorts of
controls. If you have pictures in the document that you don't want deleted, then you'll need to do a Find Next and Replace one by one so you don't lose the items you want. -- ----------------------------------------- This posting is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |
