Mayrie explained very well how to avoid that. And if you check match Match case it helps because often the headings are in italics. Once--and only once, I found I'd deleted the title, or the same words that were in the title, from the text--probably because I didn't check match case--but since I was reading the book I could tell from the context that it was missing and it was easy enough to put it in. smile Cindy --- On Sat, 11/15/08, Mayrie ReNae <mayrierenae@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Mayrie ReNae <mayrierenae@xxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: getting rid of header info > To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Saturday, November 15, 2008, 1:25 PM > Hi Bob, > > If you start at the first occurrence of a header, that is > after the > preliminary pages, and don't tell your find and replace > dialogue to "start > at top" it will work from where you start to the end. > So, I just don't > start the find and replace until my cursor is placed on the > first occurrence > that I want to remove and that protects the preliminary > pages.
