-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Word XP - search and replace....

In your text editor highlight the space and the hard return, 
then click on find & replace.

If find doesn't show the symbols like a space and \n

then you will need to copy and paste what you highlighted to put 
into the find part.  In the replace part leave this blank and 
you will get rid of the space and hard returns.

Hello all,
     I have a *.txt file that I want to save as a Doc file. 
Here's my
problem; Each line of text uses only about half of the line, AND 
ends with a space
and then a hard return.  There is a hard return in between each 
paragraph, so
there is a blank line. I'd like to do a "replace all" search (to 
delete the
space and hard return at the end of the line), instead of 
editing each individual
line.  The *.txt file looks like this;
It looks like this X  ("X" being the hard return)
X
Followed by another paragraph X
X

     I thought I had figured this one out before, and if so, 
I've forgotten.
The current document is thirty pages, and if I can do a "replace 
all", it
will be between fifteen and twenty pages.  Much better, if I 
want to print it.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

HB
