Hi E yes I did the macros in word. I am going to redo them I think so they will do more than 3 replaces at a time. I wanted to be careful about doing too many because of the possibility it would insert a blank line where I didn't want it but I only found it happening where Chapter [number] was an actual number. I will find out how to get the macro out of word so it can be emailed. Once it is in word it is easy to run just by pressing Alt-F8 and then selecting the right macro and running it as many times as needed. to create the macros I did this: Alt T M R type in the name of the macro and press enter Then do the keystrokes (for example I did Alt F for find, then put in 0^p and when it found one, I pressed escape, home, enter, then alt F then enter twice (so it would skip the one I just fixed and go to the next one), escape, home, enter, repeat) Alt T M R (for stop recording) Then to run the macro Alt F8 and arrow down to the name of the macro and press enter to run it.
