Many thanks Linda, it seems such a little thing but I have wasted hours in the past removing them one by one because I couldn't find the symbol which often appears when you copy and paste text from a webpage etc I've clearly gotta find more time to check out your "dot com" more thoroughly!!

Like I said in my last reply, if you go here, there's a link to a picture that shows what each of those symbols is. Once you know the name of the symbol, you can find it in the "Special" list in the Find/Replace box. http://personal-computer-tutor.com/findreplace.htm As you can see, the first arrow you refer to is a Manual Line Break. Use ^l (that's a lower-cased L) Linda F.
