Ok, here goes. Perform the following keystrokes in the duxbury braille document. F6 to open the search and replace menu In the "search for" field type the s key and the l key at the same time, then type a spacebar. Tab to the "replace with field and if you don't want anything to replace the hyphen and the space, leave that field empty. Proceed to ok and press enter. You will be presented with other options and to replace all occurances of the hyphen space, type alt plus a to replace all. Let me know how this works out for you. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 5:35 PM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Blacklisted:URL: Re: searching for mistakes a hyphen and then a space. By hyphen I mean dot 3 6. This happened in several words and we want to make sure they are all gone. Hope this helps.

Yes, I can use the 6 key entry.

You can either replace all, or have it ask you about each one. You shouldn't need to use the wild card asterisk. You do have to make sure that the character is indeed a hyphen. Frequently Word uses a longer hyphen (I think it's called an m-dash vs. an n-dash--refers to the width of space it takes)--then it's easiest to just copy the combination of characters you want to find and paste those into the find field.

We need to print a news letter and so the file was sent to me. Supposedly we have all the same configurations set but I am finding words with a hyphen and space in the middle where they might have been at the end of a line when the editor wrote it. What I need to know is can I do a find to find these hyphens? Is this the Windows find when you use control f? And if so can I use the character * as the wild card and just type in * hyphen and space. Since we are using Braille characters will it accept the print * symbol? Or, can I just look for hyphen, space, and will it find them even though there is a word on the beginning.
