I put the hyphen space and then tabbed to the replace box and made sure nothing was there. It still left the hyphens in and it happens at the end of a lot of lines where part of the word is on one line and part is on the next. email and MSN: tlsyslo@xxxxxxxxx skype: tlsyslo -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Anastasia Saridakis Sent: Saturday, September 15, 2007 7:29 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: removing hyphens at the end of a line did you put the space in?

In Kursweil and in word there is a function Find and replace. In my program Its control H. put in the first text box a hyphen space and nothing in the second. hit replace all and it will go through your document and connect all disjointed words. Mine takes about 1 minute or less. Good luck. Take care Anastasia ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Got a little couch potato?
