G'day Alan, I should have thought of the following myself, but thankfully Software have put us all wise. (smile) "To do this, you must be in coded view, and it takes *two* search/replace operations: 1. From the Replace dialog, using Control-< in the "Text to find" field enter the style tag "<para.>". Tab to the "Replace with" field, and, using Control-[, enter the code "[l]". Replace All. 2. On a second visit to the Replace dialog (after Control-Home), put the style tag "</para.>" in the "Text to find" field. Leave "Replace with" blank. Replace All. This will replace every <para.> tag with [l] and remove the </para.> tags altogether. I presume it's obvious how to adapt the instructions if instead you prefer to change the ending tags (</para.>) to [l] and eliminate the starting tags. There won't be a difference in the formatted document in most cases." Good luck with it, sport, George. ________________________________ From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Blackburn, Alan Sent: 03 March 2005 23:24 To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] pesky para's G'day All, I have imported a document into 10.5 that has ended up with so many <para.> </para.> codes that they are on virtually every line, hence I want to delete ALL of them (preferably NOT individually!) to re-format from scratch. How do I do this in the print doc. or the braille doc.
