Cheryl,

You're welcome.

Yes, that's what the help info in Word was talking about. The info related
to wildcards was included because some codes like ^p don't work when
wildcards are turned on. An alternative like ^13 has to be used instead.


HTH

Thanks, Gerald, for the list. I'm assuming by wild cards,
you mean the checkbox accessable by hitting the more
button in find and replace tab.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] a listing of format characters



Hi,



I thought it might be a good idea to list common format
characters as a
single tip on Jake's site (i.e. ^l hard return and ^p
paragraph marker. Is
there a list in microsoft word help files, or will I
have to trust my
less-than perfect computer knowledge? Thanks.
