Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know how to do a global find and replace of optional hyphens? I
have a book where there are several of them inside words. This breaks up
the words and makes them difficult to read. Rather than replacing them
one-by-one, I'd like to replace them all at once. With most unusual
characters, I can do a find and replace, but it doesn't seem to be working
with this one. In part because I don't know how to create an optional
hyphen. I looked at the JAWS marks that one can find by pressing insert 4,
but it's not in that list. I tried looking on my special alt characters
cheat sheet, and it's not on there either. Lastly, I tried selecting and
copying the character and pasting it into the find and replace box, but it
doesn't seem to want to paste. In fact when I tried, it deleted all my
spaces in the book and made it into a log strand of words. Yikes. I could
luckily undo that easily enough, but I still have my optional hyphens
cluttering up my book. BTW, I'm using MS Word 2002 and JFW 9.0.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Allison
