MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / May 2006manual line breaks
I've been given a document with lots (29 pages) of manual line breaks in the middle of sentences. I can go through and delete them all individually, but this would take too much time. Is there any way I can delete all formatting? I've tried going into cut and paste special and that doesn't work Use Find and Replace: ^l (that's an ell, not a one) is the Find code for line break. > I've been given a document with lots (29 pages) of manual line breaks in > the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > formatting? > I've tried going into cut and paste special and that doesn't work Hi, thanks for your help. I tried to use the find and replace tool but it said there are no line breaks in the document. It also said there are no parapgraph breaks in the document. > Use Find and Replace: ^l (that's an ell, not a one) is the Find code for > line break. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > formatting? > > I've tried going into cut and paste special and that doesn't work Well either it's telling the truth and the formatting problem with your document is something else, or you're not using Find and Replace properly. > Hi, > thanks for your help. I tried to use the find and replace tool but it said [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> > formatting? >> > I've tried going into cut and paste special and that doesn't work Click the Show/Hide button from the Standard Toolbar then click Edit - Replace. In Replace Dialog box - click More - then click Special button and choose Paragraph Mark and leave Replace With blank... If that doesn't work please specify the mark ending in the line in your next post. Hope it help, let us know. > Hi, > thanks for your help.

Maybe what you call "line breaks" actually are "tab" characters? See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/CleanWebText.htm  SignatureSuzanne S.
