Hi Douglas,
Note that Styles are on angle brackets, while Codes are in square
brackets.
If you wish to remove both opening an closing Styles in DBT, make sure
that in the Replace dialog you check the "Replace Stylename" check
box. It is also important to search for the proper Style name. For
example, search for para. (with the period), not just para without the
period. You do not need to enter the angle brackets either.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] finding and replacing codes
Can anybody tell me a simple way to find and replace unwanted codes in
a .cxp document? Suppose I'm working on a list created in Word 97,
and each carriage return in Word (^p) becomes a <para> code in
Duxbury. I don't want this code in every line of a list, outline,
table, etc., or in a heading or title that should be centered. I
can't just replace all <paras> with Caret P's, since this feature is
only recognized in Word.
Another example is the <compinline> code before a Scripture reference
or other insert that's not a Web or email address. This results in
unwanted computer braille in Scripture references, using numbers in
the lower cell and the wh sign for colons, dot 6 for commas, etc.
This may be due to an HTML format in the original Word document, where
certain parenthetical references are indicated as links.
Sometimes I'll select, copy and paste the code into the "find and
replace"
dialog, but the search item isn't found. Maybe I can find and replace
one half of the code, but the other half (preceded by a slash) is not
found.
This leaves no alternative but to go through the document and manually
delete the unwanted occurrences of the code. How do I automatically
replace all occurrences of a code when none are found by the "find"
engine?
Thanks for your pro mpt response.
