Hi Flor, Virgil, & Negoslav, I, & I'm very sure many others, totally appreciate all these additional tips on using find & replace in MS Word. Personally, I had no idea find & replace has all of these options! I have only used F&R to take out greater than signs & easy tasks like that. Thank you very much for all this great information! Take care. Mike This email was sent from our, iGasSucking460Powered1969Mach1!
