[access-uk] Re: Find and replace in office applications

Hi Peter,
 
^t for Tabs
^p for Paragraph Marks
 
That's a circumflex before the above letters. (Shifted 6 on
the number row)
 
Take care though when doing a search and replace, especially
with paragraph marks to search for ^p^p and replace with
just ^p.  (i.e. to search for two consecutive returns) .
 
George.

Subject: [access-uk] Find and replace in office applications


Hello
 
Using the find and replace feature I am having problems
getting rid of all tabs and double paragraph marks ( where I
have entered twice to create a blank line).
 
I realise that you need to activate the special menu and
that these characters are within the list but how do you get
them to the find box, and in the case of paragraph marks how
do you get two of them there and then get one into the
replace box. 
 
Any help appreciated.
 
Peter Bentley
