Hello again ... using MSWord, part of Office:Mac in an Apple system but I think this is an MSWord question. 1. Let's say I have a line like this: "XYZ <abc> ... 123" 2. Let's say I have 300 lines like the above but each with a different initial 3 letters, each with a different <URL> and each with a different numeral combination. In other words, I have 300 different lines in the "XYZ <abc> ... 123" format. 3. Now what I want to do is remove the <abc> (including the brackets) from each of the 300 lines (remember that the <abc> is different in each case) 4. How can this be done using what I think would be the Find/Replace feature in MSWord? --- Harold ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
