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?

Hi - ^m (carat M) is the code for a hard page break, the ^ (carat)
character
being created with shift plus 6 on the number row.
use search and replace in word and put ^m in the find field and then tab
to
the replace field and press the delete to remove whatever is already in
the
box so that you are replacing the ^m code with nothing. 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!
All the best,
Barry G

Does anyone know how to remove the page numbers that have been
automatically
inserted in a document and also how to remove manually inserted page
breaks.
I'm trying to do it without having to go through the entire document
