Paixao, writes: Is there anyway to make MS-WORD strip out all the carriage return at the end of each line, and replace them witha space. I would need to do this, so that for one th ing, I could justify my documents. There are other reasons, but that would be the main one. Nuno, I use MS Word 4, but to do the little job you asked about, I use McSink, a DA that seems to be a 'netters dream. Then I use Word to do the final formatting and printing, although McSink could do most of what I want. I have a few glossary items and standard footers etc, that Word handlse easily for me. I have done some of what you want in Word: (1) change all ^p^p (double returns) to )*( (2) change all ^p (single returns) to [space] (3) change )*( to ^p^p (double returns) The troubles begin when you find that there are some of: ^p[space][space]^p which will become [space][space][space][space] Not at all what you intended. Generally, McSink is much more graceful handling these formatting problems. I recommend it. -- ______________________________________________________________| Rick McCormack | IMAGISTICS BUSINESS THEATRE TECHNOLOGY || Vancouver, BC | Information transfer - with a purpose. || CANADA | ________________________________________ || AOL: Rique | INTERACTIVE COMPREHENSIVE ENLIGHTENING ||________________|____________________________________________|.
