Hi there! I'd be happy to help you with that. Here's how you can delete all the index entries {XE...} in a Word document:
And that's it! All the index entries {XE...} should now be deleted from your document. Just be sure to double-check that you didn't accidentally delete any other text you wanted to keep.

With the XE fields displayed, use the replace function to replace
^d XE with nothing. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org oli wrote: Hello ! How can I delete all (THOUSANDS) the index entries {XE...} in a word document ? tHX. |

You list ^d XE, another person lists ^19 XE. Neither work for me. What might
I be doing wrong. I do get a message that it deleted some but still have hundreds not deleted. Can you help?

Either should work with XE fields automatically inserted, however if you
have hand inserted the fields and there is no space between the bracket and XE eg {XE etc Then you would have to remove the space from the search string thus ^dXE -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Leslie wrote: You list ^d XE, another person lists ^19 XE.

As Graham said, first make sure the XE fields are visible ({ XE ... } with a dotted underline). If not, try to show formatting marks (that is, click the button with ¶ on the Standard toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcut ... Ctrl+* on my machine, probably Ctrl+Shift+8 on an English keyboard). You find the Replace function In the menu under Edit Replace... Or, again, use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+H. Type in ^d XE in "Find what", and leave "Replace with" empty, then click on "Replace all". Regards, Klaus |
