\xA0 works just find & saves you a few extra key strokes :-) They (Barbara?) should put this in the Regex table (List of Regular Expressions) in the help section. Just as easy (or easier as you don't have to remember '\xA0'): View|Field Shadings| find the first occurrence of a non-breaking space & paste into the 'Search for' box. No need for regex's. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
