Text Copied From Web Page?
I've got a Word document which unfortunately is 57 pages long, and
looks like it has been copied from one of my company web pages. All the text is aligned on the left hand third of the pages, and I'm trying to find some way to sort out the formatting so that the paragraphs use the full width of the page. I've tried highlighting the paragraphs and pressing the justify button, but this does nothing at all. Does anyone know a way to sort this out? I don't mind highlighting the paragraphs, but going to the end of each indvidual line and pressing the delete key to make the text below move up is a bit much!! Thanks |

Quick reply, and just the thing I needed - Thanks.
Ahh, just before I go... is there any way to use a wildcard in find and replace? I have various instances of SAL-SPD-V27-xxxxx in the document, where xxxxx are varying numbers - can I remove all of these using find and replace? I tried the usual asterix wildcard after the V27 but it never worked.
