I just tried what you said, and it said that it wasn't a valid special character forr word find or replace. Any other ideas? Vicki

Do a replace all with alt-A and they'll be gonne Another useful carat code is ^p (carat p) for a hard return - I use it to get rid of single erroneous line breaks in text copied from the Internet. To do this, I first replace ^p^p with the # character to preserve any proper paragraph breaks, then replace ^p with nothing, then replace the # character with ^p^p again. This cleans up most text, although it can cause problems with lists! I just use a simple word macro to run the three replacements as I do it so often. The last useful carat code I use is ^t, which is for the tab character. I use K1000 and scan a lot of educational psychology reports that are typically 20 pages-ish in length and K1000 seems to put lots of tabs into them. I just replace ^t with a space so that I know what I'm dealing with without having to turn the reveal codes on and slog through the document. Hope that helps, and if anyone knows somewhere all the carat codes are listed, I would appreciate a pointer as they are so useful!
