Hi Hannes,
First display hidden text (click the ¶ button) so the XE fields are visible. Then open the Replace dialog, enter ^19 XE in the Find What box (be sure to include the space between the 9 and the X) and leave the Replace With box empty, and click the Replace All button. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Hannes wrote: Hello!

You can also use ^d. These codes can be inserted using the Special button in
the Find and Replace dialog. See also “WD97: Control Codes to Use with Find and Replace (Edit Menu)” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=197855 -- Suzanne S.

g The ^19 code is something I learned from one of Woody Leonhard's books
about 10 years ago, in Word 2.0 long before there was a Special button. For some reason it stuck in my mind better than ^d. Another one that's worth remembering is ^13 for a paragraph mark. Although you can usually use ^p instead, only the numeric code works in the Find What box when you're using wildcards (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

I have stumbled over that stupid limitation with wildcards so often. And now you tell me the solution is so simple! One cannot help but wonder, if Word's wildcard search mechanism can actually handle paragraph marks after all, why for all the world would MS want to hide that capability from us? Lukas |

Not to mention that ^13 will find those weird
paragraph-marks-that-aren't-paragraph-marks (CR without LF?) that you sometimes get in Web or DOS text. -- Suzanne S.
