George,
Once again you have proved that your blood is worth bottling ... and
you've made me smile on a Monday morning as well!. This was indeed the
problem and now it's working like a charm. Sorry about the user
ignorance ... I bet I'm not the only one that doesn't know about the
style delimiter Ctrl + Shift < > wotsits though :-O.
Alan

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
