Hi Alan,
 
I rather suspect that your style delimiter (greater than,
and less than) signs may be shifted characters on your
keyboard, in which case you need to hold down Ctrl + Shift,
and press <
 
This should then present a pair of signs < and > with your
cursor between them, in much the same way as pressing Ctrl +
[
 
Don't forget the pesky full stop as well as in <para.>
 
George.

Mornin' George,

 

Maybe it's cos it's Monday Morning (here) but I tried this
several times and all I got was "Text was not found in this
document". Software are not all that wise after all!!. The
method you describe here is exactly the way I USED to do
this in 10.4 with nary a hiccup, but I'm darned if I can get
it to work in 10.5. It's Monday morning remember ... ;-D.

Any other ideas like do I have to tick a box or summat, or
better idea--go home and start the week tomorrow?

 

Alan

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.

        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. 

         

        Ta, Alan
