Removing returns & _________ spaces in tables
Hi, I'm trying to remove returns & blank spaces that show up as ___________
within a table. I have multiple tables with this format & need to change without manually selecting each return to delete. I've tried to remove all formats, repaste into a new doc etc., can't seem to figure out how to. Any helps appreciated. Thanks, |

Removing returns & _________ spaces in tables
Have you tried selecting the table and then using Find and Replace? For
example, to get rid of multiple successive paragraph marks (shown as ¶ symbols with nonprinting marks displayed), you can replace ^p^p with nothing. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Christine" wrote in message news Hi, I'm trying to remove returns & blank spaces that show up as ___________ within a table.

Removing returns & _________ spaces in tables
Thanks, I did try the find/replace & it doesn't remove it either. For
now, I'm taking the long way, copy/paste into excel then copy paste into access, then back into excel to create a .csv file. It's a pain! Any other ideas?

Removing returns & _________ spaces in tables
If you want to send a copy of the offending table (or a portion of it) with
a copy of what you want it to look like, to the link on my web site I will see if I can identify the issue. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Christine wrote: Thanks, I did try the find/replace & it doesn't remove it either.
