Will your computer keyboard accept six-key entry? If so, you can go to Duxbury's search and replace menu and use sixkey entry to enter the search and replace strings. -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kay Malmquist Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 2:39 PM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Blacklisted:URL: [duxuser] Re: searching for mistakes I must have forgotten to mention that this is a DXB file and is not a word file.

You can either replace all, or have it ask you about each one. You shouldn't need to use the wild card asterisk. You do have to make sure that the character is indeed a hyphen. Frequently Word uses a longer hyphen (I think it's called an m-dash vs. an n-dash--refers to the width of space it takes)--then it's easiest to just copy the combination of characters you want to find and paste those into the find field.

We need to print a news letter and so the file was sent to me. Supposedly we have all the same configurations set but I am finding words with a hyphen and space in the middle where they might have been at the end of a line when the editor wrote it. What I need to know is can I do a find to find these hyphens? Is this the Windows find when you use control f? And if so can I use the character * as the wild card and just type in * hyphen and space. Since we are using Braille characters will it accept the print * symbol? Or, can I just look for hyphen, space, and will it find them even though there is a word on the beginning.
