Adrian,
Thanks for that follow up. I knew all of this once, but have grown rusty
without frequent use of many of the WP features.
I've got a copy of X5 arriving this week and hope to retrain myself in the
ways of Word Perfect. I knew it so well in DOS!
Cheers!
Cordially,
Richard P. Kelly

Richard,
These directions work, but there's no need to go into the JAWS cursor and
there are nice shortcuts. Here are the steps with unnecessary keystrokes
removed and the shortcuts substituted:
1. Press F2 to activate the search and replace dialogue.
2. Press alt-m to bring up options.
3. Press the letter o to bring up the codes.
4. Press hr quickly to bring up the Hrt option. There are more than 300
codes, so arrowing down is a time-consuming process.
5. Press enter.
6. Tab once to "replace" and type in the desired string. It might be a
space. If you don't want the sought item replaced by anything, leave the
field blank or delete any search string left there from an earlier search
and replace operation.
7. Press alt-a to replace all.
To replace with a code, type alt-e in the "replace" field. For example, to
replace a hard return with two hard returns, once in the replace field,
press alt-e, then hr quickly twice.

John,
Yes, it is very possible in WP 8. This is how it works in a newer version of
WP for Windows. Use it as a guide.
1. Press F2 to activate the search and replace dialogue.
2. Use the Jaws cursor to Click on the Match option.
3. Arrow down to Codes and press enter
4. arrow down to the Hrt option
5. tab to insert and close
6 You'll be placed back in the dialogue with the search for option now being
Hrt 7. Tell it to replace with a single space if need be and then tab to
replace all and press enter.
Cordially, Richard P. Kelly rpkelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Subject: deleting hard returns in wordperfect 8 with jaws 10
Hi: I have a trial transcript with multiple hard returns and want to delte
them. In wordperfect for dos I was able to do that with find and replace. Is
there a way to do it with wordperfect 8 and jnaws 10. When I go into find
and replace I don't know how to enter the code for a hard return (hrt). Any
help would be appreciated. John Fioravanti
